It's along the number line
(4)3 is also the same thing as 4x3 which is 12n
-2x + 7y = 10 ⇒ -2x + 7y = 10
x - 3y = -3 ⇒ <u>-2x + 6y = 6 </u>
y = 4
-2x + 7(4) = 10
-2x + 28 = 10
<u> -28 -28</u>
<u>-2x</u> = <u>-18</u>
-2 -2
x = 9
(x, y) = (9, 4)
First you order them from least to greatest.
5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 12
Then you cross off one number from each side until you get to the middle
Medial = 9
