For this case, the first thing we are going to do is define the following variables:
 x: Sister points.
 y: George's points.
 We write the following mathematical equation:
 y = 2 * (x-4)
 His sister has 16 points:
 y = 2 * (16-4)
 y = 2 * (12)
 y = 24

 Answer:

 How many points does George have?
 
 George has 24 points.

 What operations are needed to solve this word, and in what order should they be used?

 subtraction and multiplication, in that order

7. The steps below show Cam's work in solving an equation. Circle the line where he makes a mistake. Then, find the correct solu
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Error was at the fourth line: 12 = 16x

Correct solution: x = ½

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the equation step by step to find the correct solution, and also, to find out at which line Cam made a mistake.

10 - 2x = 19x + 2 - 5x (given)

10 - 2x = 19x - 5x + 2

10 - 2x = 14x + 2

Add 2x to both sides

10 - 2x + 2x = 14x + 2 + 2x

10 = 14x + 2x + 2

10 = 16x + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides

10 - 2 = 16x + 2 - 2

8 = 16x (this is where Cam made an error, at the fourth line. He wrote: 12 = 16x. It seems Can only subtracted 2 from the right, then added 2 to the left. Subtraction property of equality was not properly done.)

Proceeding further with our calculation, we would divide both sides by 16

8/16 = 16x/16

½ = x

x = ½.

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are H(6,4) and K(2,8).
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The midpoint is (4,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have 2 points, we can find the midpoint by using the formula

midpoint = (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2

              = (6+2)/2, (4+8)/2

                   = (8/2),  12/2

                = 4,6
