Answer:
(-0.5,-2.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2 that is the midpoint formula so just plug in the known numbers and solve
2-3 4-9
--- -----
2 2
x= -0.5
y= -2.5
Answer:
a) (2x+7)(x-4)
b) x = -7/2 and x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) (2x ?)(x ?)
set up the above and considered factors of 28 that, when paired with 2, would give me -1x and -28 → (1·28, 2·14, 4·7)
after trial-and-error, found that 4 and 7 worked (used un-FOIL)
b) 2x + 7 = 0
2x = -7
x = -7/2

x-4 = 0
x = 4
Answer:
x=11,y=10.
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
We can form an equation in x and y using this property.
2y+2=2x
and x+9=2y.
Solving the second equation for x ,
x=2y-9.
Substituting x value in 2y+2=2x
2y+2=2(2y-9)
Or ,2y+2=4y-18.
Adding 18 both sides:
2y+20=4y.
Subtracting 2y both sides
20=2y.
Dividing both sides by 2:
y=10.
x=2y-9
x=2(10)-9 ( substituting y value)
x=20-9=11
x=11 and y=10 will make the figure a parallelogram.
Answer:
7 and 13
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 numbers be x and y , x > y , then
x = y + 6 → (1)
(x + y) = y - 2 ( multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction )
x + y = 4y - 8 ( subtract 4y from both sides )
x - 3y = - 8 → (2)
Substitute x = y + 6 into (2)
y + 6 - 3y = - 8
- 2y + 6 = - 8 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
- 2y = - 14 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
y = 7
Substitute y = 7 into (1)
x = 7 + 6 = 13
The 2 numbers are 7 and 13
