So.. .at the beginning of the sale, there was a total of "x" pies

now, let's see what happened to those pies
\bf \begin{array}{lrlll}
&pies\\\\
&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\\

Mary&x-2\\\\
Kate&\cfrac{x-2}{2}\\\\
\textit{pies sold}&10\\\\
\textit{pies leftover}&14
\end{array}

so, we had "x"
then Mary took 2, she left x - 2
Kate took half of that (x-2)/2
then 10 were sold, and 14 leftover

if we subtract all those figures, and solve for "x",
we should get what "x" was, so \bf (x-2)-\left( \cfrac{x-2}{2} \right)-10-14=0

notice, if we subtract what Mary took, and Kate, and the sold and leftover, from the original "x", we would end up with no pies :)

so.. just solve for "x"

The midpoint of UV is (5, -10). The coordinates of one endpoint are U(3,6). Find the coordinates of endpoint V.
Grace [21]

The answer is (7, -26) for The second endpoint.  

We'll call the midpoint M. In order to find this, we must first note that to find a midpoint we need to take the average of the endpoints. To do this we add them together and then divide by 2. So, using that, we can write a formula and solve for each part of the k coordinates. We'll start with just x values.

(Ux + Vx)/2 = Mx

(Vx + 3)/2 = 5

Vx + 3 = 10

Vx = 7

And now we do the same thing for y values

(Uy + Vy)/2 = My

(Vy + 6)/2 = -10

Vy + 6 = -20

Vy = -26

This gives us the final point of (7, -26)
