Asked by Bill

The following four numbers are listed in ascending order: 7, x, 24, y. the median of the four numbers is 18 and the mean is 61. Find x.

Answered by Steve
the median is (x+24)/2 = 18
the mean is (7+x+24+y)/4 = 61

solve for x using the median, then use that and solve for y using the mean
