hint : median = (top + bottom) / 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x-8=7x+4?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

33 = (3x-8 + 7x+4) / 2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

solve x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

33=(4x+12)/2?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

33 = (3x-8 + 7x+4) / 2 33 = (3x + 7x +4 -8) / 2 33 = (10x -4) / 2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simplify further :)

i dont know whats done from here:(

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

multiply 2 both sides

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

33 = (10x -4) / 2 multiply 2 both sides 66 = 10x - 4 add 4 both sides 70 = 10x divide 10 both sides 7 = x which is same as x = 7
