Dubai Mall and Deira City Centre are equidistant from Wafi Mall. Considering Wafi Mall as origin, the position of Deira City Centre is ( 0,7). If the ordinate of the position of Dubai Mall is zero, then write the coordinates of the position of Dubai Mall.

they're equidistant, so distance should be equal.

distance of City centre is
√(0^2+7^2)=7

distance of mall is simply $x$. (ordinate is 0, means the point is on x axis , and that's the distance from origin)

thus, $$x=7$$
