Question 715666: On a number line, points k and t are 12 units apart. point m is the midpoint of KT. point w is the midpoint of MT and is located at 5 on the number line. what number is a possible midpoint of KW?

point K = x
point T = x + 12
point M = x + 6
point W = x + 9 = 5

x = -4 --> midpoint of -4 and 5

(-4 + 5)/2 = 0.5
