Three frogs sit at lattice points: frog AA at (0,0)(0, 0), frog BB at (1,0)(1, 0), frog CC at (0,1)(0, 1). A move lets one frog jump over another: a frog at PP jumps over the frog at QQ and lands at 2Q−P2Q - P, the reflection of PP in QQ. After some moves, frog AA is at (8,4)(8, 4), frog BB is at (11,6)(11, 6) and frog CC is at (x,9)(x, 9). Find xx.
