The two numbers would be 12 and 8 because 12 is 4 more than 8 and so the sum of 12 and 8 is 20.

X=y+4 
x+y=20

now substitute the x for (y+4) in the second equation
(y+4)+y=20
2y+4=20
2y=16
y=8
now substitute 8 for y in the first equation 
x=8+4
x=12
so y=8 and x=12

If a number has a decimal that is .5+, you round up. If it is .4-, you round down. So 817.502 would be 818.

the midpoint is AB is M(3,-2). One endpoint is A(7,-9). Find the coordinates of the other endpoint B.
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

<em>The required points of the given line segment  are ( - 1, - 5 ).</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line segment AB whose midpoint M is ( 3, -2 ) and point A is ( 7, - 9), then we have to find point B of the line segment AB -

As we know that-

If a line segment AB is with endpoints ( x_{1}, y_{1} ) and  ( x_{2}, y_{2}  )then the mid points M are-  

<em>M = ( \frac{ x_{1} + x_{2} }{2} , \frac{ y_{1} + y_{2}  }{2}  )</em>

Here,

<em>Let A ( 7, - 9 ), B ( x, y ) with midpoint M ( 3, - 2 ) -</em>

then by the midpoint formula M are-

<em>( 3, - 2 )  = ( \frac{ 7 + x}{2} , \frac{ - 9 + y}{2} )</em>

On comparing x coordinate and y coordinate -

We get,

<em>( \frac{ 7 + x}{2} = 3  , \frac{ - 9 + y}{2}  = - 2)</em>

<em>( 7 + x = 6, - 9 + y = - 4 )</em>

<em>( x = 6 - 7, y = - 4 + 9 )</em>

<em>( x = - 1, y = -5 )</em>

<em>Hence the required points  A are ( - 1, - 5 ).</em>

<em>We can also verify by putting these points into Midpoint formula.</em>
