Let (x,y) be an ordered pair of real numbers that satisfies the equation x^2 + y^2 = 14x + 40y. What is the minimum value of x?

Re-arrange this circle equation to standard form  to find the center and the radius

 

x^2 -14x           + y^2 -40y    = 0

(x-7)^2              + (y-20)^2    = 49 + 400

center is   7,20     radius is sqrt 449

minumum x would be     7 - sqrt 449
