Gender or race because there should be a your before race
1 is unclear, please take a better picture
2. x-18=-5, add 18 to both sides so x=13
3. square both sides and get x-8=-x+2, add x to both sides, get 2x-8=2, add 8 to both sides, get 2x=10, divide both sides by 10 and get x=5
4. use distance formula
√( (x-x`)^2 + (y-y`)^2 ) = d
√( (4+5)^2 + (x-8)^2 ) = √155
√ ( 81+x^(2)-16x+64 ) = √155
