1. **State the problem:** We are given a midpoint of a line segment and one endpoint, and we need to find the other endpoint.
2. **Formula used:** The midpoint $M$ of a segment with endpoints $A(x_1,y_1)$ and $B(x_2,y_2)$ is given by
$$M = \left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$$
3. **Given values:**
- Midpoint $M = (12,7)$
- One endpoint $A = (3,11)$
- Other endpoint $B = (x,y)$ (unknown)
4. **Set up equations:**
$$12 = \frac{3 + x}{2}$$
$$7 = \frac{11 + y}{2}$$
5. **Solve for $x$:**
Multiply both sides by 2:
$$2 \times 12 = 3 + x$$
$$24 = 3 + x$$
Subtract 3 from both sides:
$$24 - 3 = x$$
$$x = 21$$
6. **Solve for $y$:**
Multiply both sides by 2:
$$2 \times 7 = 11 + y$$
$$14 = 11 + y$$
Subtract 11 from both sides:
$$14 - 11 = y$$
$$y = 3$$
7. **Final answer:** The other stop sign is located at $(21,3)$.
**Answer choice:** C. (21, 3)
