Answer:
x ≈ -17.457 or 11.457
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula can help.
d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)
Substituting given values, we have ...
15 = √((x -(-3))² +(9 -5)²)
225 = (x +3)² +16 . . . . . . . . square both sides
209 = (x +3)² . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16
±√209 = x +3 . . . . . . . . . take the square root
-3 ± √209 = x . . . . . . . . subtract 3
x ≈ -17.457 or 11.457
