(x + 5)² + (x - 3)² = 9²    (Pythagorean theorem)
x² + 10x + 25 + x² - 6x + 9 = 81
2x² + 4x - 47 = 0
x = [-4 ± √(4² + 4*2*47)] / (2*2)

x = 3.95 or x = -5.95 (rejected for x - 3 < 0)

The answer: x = 3.95

Pythagorean Theorem:

(x+5)^2 + (x-3)^2 = 9^2
x^2 + 10x + 25 + x^2 -6x + 9 = 81
2x^2 +4x +34 = 81
2x^2 + 4x - 47 = 0

Quadratic formula
positive solution x = 7/sqrt(2) - 1
