Answer:

okay here we go

Explanation:


in \: vectos \: ab \: means \: ob - oa \\ but \: the \: midpoint \: m \: is \: equal \: to \: a \: half \: of \: ab \\ \\ therefore \: m = (1)/(2) ab \\ = (1)/(2) (ob - oa) \\ = (1)/(2) (ob - (3. - 6)) \\ (4. - 2) = (1)/(2) (ob - (3. - 6)) \\ (8. - 4) = (ob - (3. - 6)) \\ ob = (11. - 2)
