Answer:
y=0.625
Step-by-step explanation:
6(0.25+2.5)-2
6(2.75)-2
16.5-2
=14.5
(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2 = midpoint
-3+5=2 2/2=1
x=1
4+-8=-4 -4/2=-2
y=-2
Midpoint: (1,-2)
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
The number is -10.4
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
Assume that the number we are looking for is x.
Now, we want to get 10 times te sum of half the number and 6 and equate this expression to 8. Then we can solve for x
<u>Let's take this step by step:</u>
half the number is 0.5x
the sum of half the number and 6 is 0.5x + 6
10 times the sum of half the number and 6 is 10(0.5x +6)
10 times the sum of half the number and 6 equals 8 is 10(0.5x+6) = 8
<u>Now we can solve for x as follows:</u>
10(0.5x + 6) = 8
5x + 60 = 8
5x = 8 - 60
5x = -52
x = -52/5
x = -10.4
Hope this helps :)</span>
