Answer:

(x,-y): (2,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

M=(x+x)/2,(y+y)/2

Given (1,4)=

\frac{3x - 4}{2}

This implies:

1 =  \frac{3x - 4}{2}

3x - 4 = 2 \\ 3x = 2 + 4 \\  \frac{3x }{3}  =  \frac{6}{3}  \\ x = 2

In a similar way,

4 =  \frac{ - 2 + 5y}{2}  \\  - 2 + 5y = 8 \\ 5y = 10 \\ y = 2

The question demanded (x,-y)

Hence(2,-2) is the answer

In Walmart parking, there are 175 vehicles parked joe figures out that 64% of the vehicles are white. How many vehicles are NOT
aksik [14]

Answer:

63 vehicles are not white

Step-by-step explanation:

Well you know that there are 175 total vehicles, and that 64% of those vehicles are white.  Therefore the remaining percentage of vehicles must not be white.

100%-64%=36%

This means that 36% of the vehicles aren't white.

Now you must find what 36% of 175 is.  The word "of" always signals for multiplication, which is exactly what you need to do here.  First start by converting the percentage into decimal form:

36%=0.36

Now you can multiply

175 x 0.36 = 63

63 Vehicles are not white
