Distance Formula:
Point 1: (9,0)
Point 2: (5,-8)
D = sqrt[ (5 - 9)^2 + (-8 - 0)^2 ]
D = sqrt[ (-4)^2 + (-8)^2 ]
D = sqrt[ 16 + 64]
D = sqrt(80)

Answer:
x = ± 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 5 = 3x² - 3 ( subtract x² + 5 from both sides )
0 = 2x² - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )
8 = 2x² ( divide both sides by 2 )
4 = x² ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ± = ± 2
