Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, distribute the 10 and the -8 to the terms in the parentheses next to them. Remember, don't distribute to the -4h since it is not in the parentheses.

2) Next, combine like terms. (Any terms that have the same variables must be added together by their coefficients.)

There are no more like terms to combine, so
is the answer.
If a laptop originally costs $800 at purchase, and is then discounted by
10%, the remainder would be $720, given that 10% of $800 is $80.
Therefore, once then applying the credit card to reduce it another $150,
the final price of the laptop would come out to $570 once the
deductions are considered.
Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula. The midpoint of a segment joining points

and

is

So the midpoint of your segment is

Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points. Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.
