PLZ HELP ASAP 65 POINTS!! (:

1. 44 + 3x

2. 2y - 8

3. x - 6

17.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 7² + 2² - 5 - 4 + 3x

   49 + 4 - 5 - 4 + 3x

       53 - 5 - 4 + 3x

           48 - 4 + 3x

              44 + 3x

2. - y - 5 + y + 2(2y-y) - 3

     -y - 5 + y + 4y - 2y -3

      -y - 5 + 5y - 2y - 3

          4y - 2y - 5 - 3

                2y - 8

3. 5x -3 - x - 3(x + 1²)

    5x - 3 - x - 3x - 3

      4x - 3x - 3 -3

           x - 3 -3

             x - 6

Hope this helps.

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)
