The "midpoint formula" is the same as the "average formula:"
x-coordinate of the midpoint = average of -2 and 10:
= (-2 + 10) / 2 = 4
y-coordinate of the midpoint = average of 3 and 3:
= (3+3) / 2 = 3
Thus, the midpoint of the given line segment is (4,3).

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is 5/6 = 83.3%
I really hope this helps!
For me, it’s easiest when i distribute the negative sign if i need to and then reorder to put the like terms together. and then solve.
(also sorry if it’s a little confusing with all the parentheses, i use them because it helps me organize everything)
21. (4x-9y) + (6x+10) + (8y-4)
= 4x + 6x - 9y + 8y + 10 - 4
= 10x - y + 6
—> D
22. (6x+9y-15) + (2x-9y+8)
= 6x + 2x + 9y - 9y - 15 + 8 (the 9y - 9y = 0, so you can leave it out of the final equation)
= 8x - 7
—> D
23. (9x^2-8x+3) - (5x^2-6x+4)
= 9x^2 - 8x + 3 - 5x^2 -(-6x) - 4
= 9x^2 - 5x^2 - 8x + 6x + 3 - 4 (remember that two - signs next to each other make a + sign)
= 4x^2 - 2x - 1
—> A
24. (9x^3-7x+8) - (5x^2+7x-10)
= 9x^3 - 7x + 8 - 5x^2 - 7x -(-10)
= 9x^3 - 5x^2 - 7x - 7x + 8 + 10
= 9x^3 - 5x^2 - 14x + 18
—> D
25. (6x+14y) - ((7x+5y) + (x-8y))
= (6x+14y) - (7x + x + 5y - 8y)
= (6x+14y) - (8x-3y)
= 6x + 14y - 8x -(-3y)
= 6x - 8x + 14y + 3y
= -2x + 17y
—> B
