We will first put this data in ascending order
12,13,13,15,16,19,32
We then center in on the middle number, we first can “mark out” the highest and lowest number and repeat until we have one number left
12,13,13,15,16,19,32
13,13,15,16,19
13,15,16
The median is 15
If you would like to find 2 numbers which you can add up to get 24 and multiply to get -25, you can calculate this using the following steps:
a + b = 24 ... b = 24 - a
a * b = -25 ... a * (24 - a) = -25 ... 24 * a - a^2 = -25 ... 0 = a^2 - 24 * a - 25
0 = (a - 25) * (a + 1)
1. a = 25
2. a = -1
b = 24 - a
1. b = 24 - 25 = -1
2. b = 24 - (-1) = 25
The numbers you are looking for are -1 and 25.
The sign at the end changes because both sides of the equation are being divided by a negative number.
