Randomly only means that Nobody says before that the candidates must have a certain characteristic(e.g. that they have to be Male) and that Nobody knows before who gets chosen.
Diagram:
M------------O-------------N
................. ^ midpoint
Obviously if O is the *mid*point, then it is exactly halfway between M and N. That also means it has bisected the segment into two equal parts.
On one side you have MO (or OM, if you like)
On the other side you have ON.
In order for O to be the midpoint:
ON = OM
Answer:
d = 7, 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to isolate the absolute value
-3|d - 5| = -6
divide both sides by -3:
|d - 5| = 2
break into 2 equations:
d - 5 = 2, d - 5 = -2
solve both equations and collect solutions:
d = 5 + 2, d = 5 - 2
d = 7, 3
6+n less than or equal to sign 2n-1
