Let the number be x. "Three times a number increased by 10" is mathematically translated as
3x + 10
"is equal" is mathematically translated as twenty less than six times the number" is mathematically translated as
6x - 20
The whole sentence "Three times a number increased by ten is equal to twenty less than six times the number" is translated as
3x + 10 = 6x - 20
We now solve the above linear equation to find the number x
3x - 6x = - 20 - 10
- 3x = - 30
x = 10
Check answer
Three times a number increased by ten : 3 × 10 + 10 = 40
Twenty less than six times the number : 6 × 10 - 20 = 40

Answer: Median = 7</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
Sort the values from smallest to largest. Doing so leads to the list {1,4,6,8,8,9}
Since the set is small enough, you can probably notice that the middle most number is a tie between the 6 and the first 8. The midpoint is (6+8)/2 = 14/2 = 7.
The median is 7.
---------------
If you wanted, you could cross off the first and last items of the set
That means we go from {1,4,6,8,8,9} to {4,6,8,8}
Then repeat to get the smaller set {6,8}
This shows we have a tie between the 6 and 8 as the middle most item, and why 7 is the median (since 7 is the midpoint between 6 and 8).
Answer:
75% of the households have between 2 and 6 televisions
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we can deduce the following;
sample size n= 8
sample mean μ = 4
standard deviation σ = 1
Using Chebychev’s theorem;
P(2 ≤ X ≤ 6) = P(2-4 ≤ (X - μ) ≤ 6-4)
= P(-2 ≤ (X-μ) ≤ 2) = P(|X-μ| ≤ kσ) ≥ (1 - 1/k^2) ≥ (1- 1/2^) = 1- 0.25 = 0.75 ( same as 75%)
