Answer:

(7, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Let the coordinates of B } = x_{B} , y_{B} \\\text{Let the coordinates of A} = x_{A} , y_{A} \\\text{Let the coordinates of midpoint M} = x_{M} , y_{M}

By the midpoint formula,
(x_{M},y_{M}) = (\frac{x_{A} + x_{B}}{2} , \frac{y_{A} + y_{B}}{2} )

x_{M} = \frac{x_{A} + x_{B}}{2} \\y_{M} = \frac{y_{A} + y_{B}}{2} \\

We have coordinates of midpoint as (5, 6) and coordinates of A as (3,8)
So
5 = \frac{3 + x_{B}}{2} \\\\\\textrm{Cross-multiplying } 10 = 3 + x_{B}} \textrm{ or }  x_{B} = 10-3 = 7\\

6 = \frac{8 + y_{B}}{2} \\\\\\\\textrm{Cross-multiplying } 12 = 8 + y_{B}} \textrm{ or }  y_{B} = 12-8 = 4\\

So coordinates of B are (7,4)
