Answer:
If the first number is x and y is the second number
x = 11
y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the first number and y is the second number then:
x + 7 = y
The sum of the two numbers is expressed as:
x + y = 29
In order to find what the two numbers are, use what you know. According to the first equation, y equals the first number(x) plus 7, so you can substitute that for the y in the second equation
x + y = 29
x + (x + 7) = 29
2x + 7 = 29
2x + 7 - 7 = 29 - 7
2x/2 = 22/2
That means x equals 11
Now that x is known, you can find the value for y. The second number(y) is 7 more than than the first number(x) so that means x + 7 = y
11 + 7 = y
y = 18
Answer:
(-4, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint (M) has coordinates that are the average of those of endpoints A and D.
... M = (A +D)/2 = ((-2, -6) +(-6, 8))/2
... M = (-8, 2)/2 = (-4, 1)
