The sign would be negative
55,000 + 2,500x = 62,000 + 2,000x
subtract 55,000 from both sides
2,500x = 7,000 + 2,000x
now subtract 2,000x from both sides
500x = 7,000
x= 14 years

What we know:
Petrolyn motor oil is a combination of natural oil and synthetic oil. It contains 7 liters of natural oil for every 5 liters of synthetic oil.
What we need to find:
If 355 liters of synthetic oil are used, how many liters of petrolyn oil will be made?
Set up a proportion to find how much natural oil is used.
7L natural oil/5L synthetic oil = x/355 synthetic oil where x=natural oil
7/5=x/355
(5)(x)=(7)(355) cross multiplied
5x=2485 simplified
5/5x=2485/5 multiplicative inverse
x=497L
Now, add both synthetic oil and natural oil to find amount of petrolyn oil.
355 L synthetic oil + 497 L natural oil= 852 L of petrolyn oil
Answer: (15/2, 33/2) or (7.5, 16.5)
depending on if you want fractions or decimals
explanation:
equation for midpoint... (avg x, avg y)
x-coordinate: (6+9)/2 = 15/2 = 7.5
y-coordinate: (17+16)/2 = 33/2 = 16.5
