The answer is D. Best of luck!
By using the Distributive Property, you would multiply 3 into the parenthesis (3 · x and 3 · -4)
3(x - 4) = 24
3x - 12 = 24
Then, you would solve like any normal one-step equation.
3x - 12 = 24
+12 +12
__________
3x 36
__ = __
3 3
x = 12, which is your final solution.

Answer:
The coordinates of the midpoints are the average coordinates of the endpoints. Suppose (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the endpoints and (xm,ym) is the midpoint, we have xm=x1+x22 and ym=y1+y22 . Therefore, 2xm=x1+x2 and 2ym=y1+y2 . From there, we should be able to figure the other endpoint out given an endpoint and the midpoint.
