The answer is B. First solve the parentheses. Then make a quadratic equation and solve from there.
Answer: ( 11, -2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
The mid point of a line is calculated using the formula:
M = (
,
)
From the question , the mid point is already given , substituting , we have :
(5 , - 7.5 ) = (
,
)
Equating the x component to x and the y component to y , we have
5 = 
x - 1 = 10
x = 11
Also
- 7.5 =
-15 = y - 13
-15 + 13 = y
Therefore : y = -2
Therefore : the location of point P is ( 11, -2 )
Since Anna is either grouping them as single rock or as group of 10, we need to find the maximum number of groups of 10 as follows: 38/10 = 3.8
This means that Anna can make maximum 3 groups of 10 rocks.
Based on this, the different ways to group the rocks are as follows:
- 3 groups of 10 and 8 (which are calculated as: 38-30) single rocks
- 2 groups of 10 and 18 (which are calculated as: 38-20) single rocks
- 1 group of 10 and 28 (which are calculated as: 38-10) single rocks
- 0 group of 10 and 38 (which are calculated as: 38-0) single rocks
300,022,000.
Don't quote me on that, I'm really not all that good at math.
