Answer:
A=-4 B=-8 C=8
Step-by-step explanation:
If you need to check these answers multiply the answer by the second number.
A) -4x-3=12 A negative times a negative is always positive.
B)-8x9=-72 A negative times a positive is a negative.
C) 8x-2=-16 A negative times a positive is a negative.
To simplify rational expressions, simply see and check if there is a common number or same number that can be divided from in both. If not here, you would simply multiply the numbers together.
Then simplify if you would need to.
It would be 85x/6
The other endpoint is (1, -17).
The midpoint formula is:
Using our midpoint and endpoint, we have:
For the first equation (to find the x-coordinate) we will multiply both sides by 2:
Subtract 11 from both sides:
12 - 11 = 11+x₂ - 11
1 = x₂
For the second equation (the y-coordinate) we multiply both sides by 2:
Add 5 to both sides:
-22+5 = -5+y₂ + 5
-17 = y₂
This means that (x₂, y₂) is at (1, -17).
