Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation. - 4(x + 3) = 8
Apply the Distributive Property and simplify.
- 4(x + 3) = 8
- 4x { }+ = 8

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)

just go here

its what i use
