The midpoints are (8,3) and (6.5,6).
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Midpoint formula = ((x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2)
(x1,y1) = (5,2)
(x2,y2) = (11,4)
Midpoint = ((5+11)/2 , (2+4)/2)
⇒ ((16/2) , (6/2))
⇒ (8,3)
(x1,y1) = (3,8)
(x2,y2) = (10,4)
Midpoint = ((3+10)/2 , (8+4)/2)
⇒ ((13/2) , (12/2))
⇒ (6.5,6)
<h3><u>The value of the greater number is 15.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of the smaller number is 7.</u></h3>
x = 2y + 1
3x = 5y + 10
Because we have a value for x we can plug this value in to find the value of y.
3(2y + 1) = 5y + 10
Distributive property.
6y + 3 = 5y + 10
Subtract 5y from both sides.
y + 3 = 10
Subtract 3 from both sides.
y = 7
We can plug this value back into the original equation to find the value of x.
x = 2(7) + 1
x = 15
Don't u have a graphing calculator?
plug it into ur y= screen
