Question

if the point (5, 8) is the distance of 3 units from the point (x, 8) what should be the value of x​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

u can first used the midpoint formula and get the midpoint and that then you can equal equal equal first to midpoint distance is equal to second to midpoint distance you will get the answer and please thank me and mark me answer brainliest answer brainliest

Answer 2

Let (5, 8) be (x1,y1) and (x, 8) be (x2, y2 ).

and distance btw them is 3 units,

By distande formula,

=√(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1) ^2

3 = √(x - 5 )^2 + (8 - 8 )^2

3= √x^2 - 5^2 + (8^2 - 8^2)

3= √( x^2 - 25 ) + ( 64 - 64 )

3= √( x^2 - 25 ) + 0

3= √ x^2 - 25

3= x - 5

3 + 5 = x

So, x = 8

Hope it helps
