-12-2x is the answer. You just distribute 2 to what is in the parentheses.

The distributive property multiplies the outside number by both the inside numbers. In this case, 2(6 - x) would be:
12 - 2x simplified.
12 - 2x is your answer without parenthesis.

Given: - 4x/7 > 10. Choose the solution set. {x | x < - } {x | x > - } {x | x > - } {x | x < - }

Answer:

{x | x < - 35 / 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x / 7 > 10

Multiply both sides by 7

-4x /7 * 7 > 10 * 7

-4x > 70

Divide both sides by - 4

-4x / - 4 > 70 / - 4

x < - 35 / 2 (inequality sign changes)

Segment MN has endpoints at M(-5, 4) and N(7, -5). What is the midpoint of MN???? PLZ HELP

Paha777 [63]

Theres a formula to find the midpoint it’s... (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2. You fill in the x’s and y’s to get (-5+7)/2 for x, which equals 1 and (4-5)/2 to get -0.5. (1, -0.5) is your answer
