The formula to find the midpoint of a segment is ((x1 + x2)/2,),(y1 + y2)/2).
The x coordinate of the first point is -4, and the x coordinate of the second point is -8. The y coordinate of the first point is 6, and the y coordinate of the second point is -2. Now, we can plug these into our formula.
((-4 + (-8))/2), (6 + (-2))/2)) = (-12/2), (4/2) = (-6, 2)
So, (-6, 2) is the midpoint of the segment.
5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
-15 -15 subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
÷5 ÷5 divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
+8 +8 add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2 ÷2 divide both sides by 3
x = 1
Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15 Correct! x=1

Answer:
8x - 20
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x - 6) + 4 + 5x - 6 
Distribute 3 to (x - 6)
3(x) - 3(6) + 4 + 5x - 6
3x - 18 + 4 + 5x - 6
Simplify:
3x + 5x - 18 + 4 - 6
8x -18 - 2
8x - 20
