3x + 2y = 16
-3x + 4y = 14
Solve by Addition/Elimination

6y=30

y=30/6

y=5.

3x+2y=16

3x+2(5)=16

3x+10=16

3x=6

x=6/3

x=2

x =2 y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

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)
