Step-by-step explanation:
Let the point be P
let coordinates of P be (x,0)
since the point is equidistant from. A(7,6) and B(3,4)
AP=BP
use distance formula
AP=√{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}
on solving
AP=√(x^2+49-14x+36)
AP=√(x^2-14x+85)
BP=√{(x3-x1)^2+(y3-y1)^2}
on solving
BP=√(9+x^2-6x+16)
=√(x^2-6x+25)
AP=BP
√(x^2-14x+85)=√(x^2-6x+25)
squaring both sides
x^2-14x+85=x^2-6x+25
60=8x
x=7.5
thus P=(7.5,0)

Answer:
(3,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Points are A(7,6) and B(-3,4) .
On x - axis, y = 0.
Apply Distance formula:
⇒ (x - 7)^2 + (0 - 6)^2 = (x + 3)^2 + (0 - 4)^2
=> x^2 + 49 - 14x + 36 = x^2 + 9 + 6x + 16
=> x^2 + 49 - 14x + 36 - x^2 - 9 - 6x - 16 = 0
=> 60 - 20x = 0
=> x = 3
Hence, the coordinates are (3,0)
