Answer:
8 or 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using distance formula, which says if there are two point (a, b) and (c, d), then the distance between them is √(a - c)² + (b - d)². Here,
=> √(5 - x)² + (2 - (-2))² = 5
=> (5 - x)² + (2 + 2)² = 5²
=> (5 - x)² + 4² = 5²
=> (5 - x)² = 25 - 16
=> (5 - x)² = 9
=> (5 - x) = ± √9
=> 5 - x = ± 3
=> 5 ± 3 = x
=> 5+3 or 5-3 = x
=> 8 or 2 = x
