Let the coordinate of Q is x. We know that coordinate of P is 2. Then the coordinate of midpoint is 0.5( P+Q)=0.5( 2 + x)=1+0.5x On other hand PQ=8 so | x - 2|=8 there are 2 cases x-2=8 or x-2=-8 so x=10 or x=-6 Then coordinate of midpoint equals 1+0.5x .For x=10 we get 6 andfor x=-6 we get -2 Answer: coordinate of midpoint of PQ is 6 or -2

Hello. Use process of elimination to solve each system of equations. p + q = -2 p - q = 8
