Points: (s, 2s) and (3s, 8s) Slope: (8s-2s)/(3s-s) = 6s/2s = 3 Perpendicular slope: -1/3 Midpoint: (s+3s)/2 and (2s+8s)/2 = (2s, 5s) Equation: y-5s = -1/3(x-2s) => 3y-15s = -1(x-2s) => 3y = -x+17x Perpendicular bisector equation in its general form: x+3y-17s = 0
To use five 2s to make 3, you can employ a mathematical operation like exponentiation. One way to achieve this is by arranging the 2s as follows: (2^2) - (2/2) = 3. This expression involves raising 2 to the power of 2 (which equals 4) and then subtracting the result of dividing 2 by 2 from it, resulting in 3.

5s - 6 = 2s, ie 5s - 2s = 6, ie 3s = 6, ie s = 2
You said that 4(2s - 1) = 7s + 12Eliminate parentheses: 8s - 4 = 7s + 12Add 4 to each side: 8s = 7s + 16Subtract 7s from each side: s = 16
