The coordinate of O, the center of segment PQ is 6. If the coordinate of P is greater than the coordinate of Q,
and if segment OQ = 10, what are the coordinates of P and Q?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the condition, point P is 10 units to the right from point O.

     THEREFORE, point P has the coordinate  6 + 10 = 16.



From the condition, point Q is 10 units to the left from point O.

     THEREFORE, point Q has the coordinate  6 - 10 = -4.
