The product of a negative number and a positive number is always negative.

Here's something funny my math teacher once told us to help us remember.

Good
thing happening to a Good person = Good
positive x positive = positive

Bad 
thing happening to a Good person = Bad
negative x positive = negative

Good 
thing happening to a Bad person = Bad
positive x negative = negative

Bad 
thing happening to a Bad person = Good
negative x negative = positive

The coordinates of L and M are (3, 6) and (9, 8) respectively. X is the mid-point of LM, determine the coordinate of the point X
chubhunter [2.5K]
The formula is (x1+x2)/2 will give you the x of the mid point.

(y1+y2)/2 will give you the y of the mid point.

So, (3+9)/2= 6
And (6+8)/2=7

The mid point is (6:7)

ivann1987 [24]
Let L and S represent the weights of large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to two equations:
.. 7L +9S = 273
.. 5L +3S = 141

You can solve these equations various ways. Using "elimination", we can multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation.
.. 3(5L +3S) -(7L +9S) = 3(141) -(273)
.. 8L = 150
.. L = 150/8 = 18.75
Then we can substitute into either equation to find S. Let's use the second one.
.. 5*18.75 +3S = 141
.. S = (141 -93.75)/3 = 15.75

A large box weighs 18.75 kg; a small box weighs 15.75 kg.
