John read the first 114 pages of a novel, which was 3 pages less than 1/3 of the novel.

(114+3)x3

Step-by-step explanation: Since you are 3 pages away from 1/3 of the book, you have to add 3 to 114. Then you multiply 117 by 3 and that will give you the answer which is 351 pages.

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)

why can't you?
