I've tried several ways to work this but have not been introduced to this sort of question before and I don't know if I am correct in my work.
Find "X" so that the point (X,0) is equidistant from the points (6,1) and (-2,5).
We have been working with the distance formula and midpoint formula. I'm assuming it's a right triangle but have no idea.
I hope someone can help.
