<h2>Answer:</h2>

The coordinates of D are:

                   (-3,-7)

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that if a point B(c,d) is located in middle of two points i.e. A(a,b) and C(a',b').

Then the coordinates of B is given by:

c=\dfrac{a+a'}{2}\ and\ d=\dfrac{b+b'}{2}

It is given that:

B is the midpoint of AC.

A(-9,-4), C(-1, 6).

Hence, the coordinates of B(x,y) is given by:

x=\dfrac{-9-1}{2}\ and\ y=\dfrac{-4+6}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{-10}{2}\ and\ y=\dfrac{2}{2}\\\\x=-5\ and\ y=1

i.e. the coordinates of B are: (-5,1).

E is the midpoint of BD.

Let the coordinates of D be (w,z)

Also, E is located at E(-4,-3).

i.e.

-4=\dfrac{-5+w}{2}\ \ and\ \ -3=\dfrac{1+z}{2}\\\\-4\times 2=-5+w\ \ and\ \ -3\times 2=1+z\\\\-8=-5+w\ \ and\ \ -6=1+z\\\\w=-8+5\ \ and\ \ z=-6-1\\\\w=-3\ \ and\ \ z=-7

Hence, the coordinates of D are: (-3,-7)

The coordinates for D are (-4, -7)

First we must locate point B as it is vital to finding the midpoint of BD. To do this, we take the average of the endpoints AC since B is its midpoint. 

x values = -9 + 1 = -8
Then divide by 2 for the average -8/2 = -4

y values = -4 + 6 = 2
Then divide by 2 for the average 2/2 = 1

Therefore B must be (-4, 1)

Now we know the values of E must be the average of B and D. So we can write equations for each coordinate since we know they are averages. 

x - values = (Bx + Dx)/2 = Ex
(-4 + Dx)/2 = -4 ---> multiply both sides by 2
-4 + Dx = -8 ---> add -4 to both sides
Dx = -4

y - values = (By + Dy)/2 = Ey
(1 + Dy)/2 = -3 ---> multiply both sides by 2
1 + Dy = -6 ---> subtract 1 from both side
Dy = -7

So the coordinates for D must be (-4, -7)

A rectangle's width is twice as long as its length. If the perimeter is 36 in., what is the length?
Bumek [7]
Okay here: 

Let L be the length and W the width of the rectangle. 

1. w=2•L
2. 2L+2W=36

Substitute eq. 1 into eq. 2, 

2L+2•(2•L)=36

2L+4L=36

6L=36

L=9

Not done yet, then from eq. 1, 
 
W=2•L
W=2•9
W=18 <------- Your answer. :)

Shrina is selling cookie dough for her soccer team. She sold 2 tubs of
Inga [223]

Answer: 22

Step-by-step explanation:

She sold two tubs of Oatmeal Raisins and it's 6 dollars a tub so we can do 6*2 or 6+6 (doesn't matter). We get $12. Then, she also sells 2 tubs of Peanut Butter, and since it's $5 a tub, then we do 5*2 or 5+5 to get 10. We add 12 and 10 (12+10) and get 22.

I'm not sure if this is right because you added $22, $24, $20, and $11 and I'm not sure what the purposes of those are.
