The formula is called the “midpoint formula”. It looks like this
m=(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2 where m means midpoint. In your case it looks like this.
Answer:
18x+63
Step-by-step explanation:
First you've to simplfy it, multiply the first bracket by 5 and the second by 4.
= (5)(2x)+(5)(7) + (4)(2x)+(4)(7)
= 10x+35+8x+28
Combine Like Terms:
= 10x+35+8x+28
= (10x+8x)+(35+28)
= 18x+63
Answer: k = -5
explanation-
distribute: -3k + -21 - 5k + 4= 23
combine: -8k -17 = 23
add 17 to both sides: -8k = 40
divide both sides by -8: k=-5
