Answer:
((2a+b)/2 , a/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint is the mean/average of both the x and y values.
Our x values are a+b and a
Our y values are a-b and b
The midpoint x value is (a+b + a ) /2 = (2a + b)/2
The midpoint y value is (a-b + b) /2 = (a)/2
The midpoint combines these two values to get ((2a+b)/2 , a/2) as our midpoint
Answer:
The number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
certain positive number: x
x is multipled by 4:
4x
result of this is subtracted from the original number:
so original number minus 4x,
x - 4x
the result is 21 less than 0, this means negative 21
x - 4x = 0 - 21 = -21
do algebra:
-3x = -21
multiply both sides by -1
3x = 21
divide both sides by 3
x=7
(certain positive number: x) is equal to 7
