1. The midpoint is the middle point of a line segment. It is equidistant from both endpoints.

With endpoints (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

The midpoint is ( (x1+x2)/2 ,(y1+y2)/2 )

Is it possible for AB = 10, BC = 2x + 5 and AC = 5x, given that point B is the midpoint? If you are talking about lengths of a line segment ABC, with B the midpoint, then AB + BC = AC 15 + 2x = 5x 3x = 15 x = 3. But also we must
