The distance between the points (x, 21) and (4, -7)  is 10*sqrt(3) . Find the sum of all possible values of x.

10  sqrt (3)  = sqrt  300

 

Using  the  square of  the  distance  formula   we  have

 

(x - 4)^2  +  ( -7 - 21)^2  =  300      simplify

 

(x  - 4)^2   + 28^2   = 300

 

(x - 4)^2  +  784  = 300

 

(x - 4)^2   =  - 484

 

No real solution  for  x   ......!!!
