Given: N is the midpoint of segment PS.
Prove: PN=%281%2F2%29%28PQ%29+ -> it should be highlight%28PS%29, not %28PQ%29+

Statements.............................................................Reasons
N is the midpoint of PS.......................................Given
PN congruent to NS............................................Definition of Midpoint
PN=NS..............................................................Definition of Congruence
PN%2BNS+=PS.....................................................Segment Addition Postulate
PN+%2BPN=PS.....................................................Substitution Property
2PN=PS..............................................................Simple addition
PN=%281%2F2%29%28PS%29 ............................................................Division Property of Equality
