X=the missing value
the median is the middle number, but in this case there are two which happens to be 25 and x
so the formula is
25+x/2=31.5
use algebra to solve
25+x=63
x=63-25
x= 38
Therefore, the missing value is 38.
Hope this helped. Let me know if you have any further questions:)

The real way is to subtract the term with the variable on the right first, but both Spencer and Jeremiah are correct. When you do them both, they arrive at the same answer, only that Spencer's would be 2/5, and Jeremiah's would be -2/-5, which is 2/5, because you divide negative by a negative. It doesn't matter which term with the variable you would cancel out first. Either way, you still arrive at the correct answer.
