<p>U pick anynumber for k and then u average the first and last numbers since u want n which is part of the midpoint equasion.<br>
After u get the midpoint u set that equal to the equation in the middle using the number u picked for k and the answer ends up being 17/2</p>
<p>jil, I think x was 19 and so the answer was 65. BTW jil, how sure are you about the question I mentioned, because it really confused me and Im hoping others chose A too ._.</p>
<p>Oh dangit I was gonna pick 65 and I didn't since I thought it was gonna be wrong!</p>
<p>Hmm I'm pretty sure. Since when I drew it on my paper it seemed impossible for the line to be perpendicular. And question said MUST be true right?</p>
<p>Really? I got II, but I might very well be wrong. Yeah, I also had a lot of trouble on the pipe painting passage, I'm pretty sure I got a few wrong. What did people put for how the author would view the "hard facts", I think the choices were necessary, difficult, solid, and some others, I know I put 'solid', but I was pretty unsure.</p>
