Question

Numbers 50, 42, 35, 2x +10, 2x – 8, 12, 11, 8, 6 are written in descending order and their median is 26,
find x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x=17

Step-by-step explanation:

desending order = 50, 2X+10, 42,35, 2X -8 , 12, 11, 8, 6

There is total 9 number and we know that median of odd number is

= (n+1)/2

=(9+1)/2

=> 5th element is median= 2x-8

therefore => 2x-8=26

                => 2x=26+8

                => x=34/2

                => x=17
