\[x=\frac{ mx2+nx1 }{m+n}\]
\[y=\frac{ my2+ny1 }{ m+n }\]
you can use this formula to find x .

I got -2/5 , 4 not sure if I did it right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yayy! So whats the next step?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you want x value only
\[x=\frac{ 2*5+3\left( -4 \right) }{2+3 }=\frac{ 10-12 }{ 5 }=-\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }=-0.4\]
