The coordinates for D are (-4, -7)
First we must locate point B as it is vital to finding the midpoint of BD. To do this, we take the average of the endpoints AC since B is its midpoint.
x values = -9 + 1 = -8
Then divide by 2 for the average -8/2 = -4
y values = -4 + 6 = 2
Then divide by 2 for the average 2/2 = 1
Therefore B must be (-4, 1)
Now we know the values of E must be the average of B and D. So we can write equations for each coordinate since we know they are averages.
x - values = (Bx + Dx)/2 = Ex
(-4 + Dx)/2 = -4 ---> multiply both sides by 2
-4 + Dx = -8 ---> add -4 to both sides
Dx = -4
y - values = (By + Dy)/2 = Ey
(1 + Dy)/2 = -3 ---> multiply both sides by 2
1 + Dy = -6 ---> subtract 1 from both side
Dy = -7
So the coordinates for D must be (-4, -7)

?:15
It's some crazy number I worked out but: 12.86 is the best thing I could get lol
B i think.. the product kinda gives it off to me but i’m not sure
Answer:
26 , 10 , 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Any number larger than 2 will work.
A. Let x = cheese and
y = chocolate
2x + y = 25
x + y = 20
B. Subtract the second equation from the first.
2x + y = 25
-(x + y = 20)
-—————
x = 5
Plug 5 back in to the second equation and solve for y.
x + y = 20
5 + y = 20
Subtract 5 from both sides.
y = 15
5 cheese and 15 chocolate
Used elimination method because coefficients on the y values were both 1 so it was easy to subtract the equations and eliminate the y variable.
