Jane = x years

Tom = x+8

*5 Years Ago

Jane= x-5

Tom= (x+8)-5=>x+3---------------------------
x+3=3(x-5)<span>x+3=3x-15
3x-x=18
2x=18
x=9
Jane = 9 years
Tome = 9+8 = 17 years</span>

The median is 28; 16,24,x,48

Nookie1986 [14]

x = 32

To find the media, you take the middle number. If there is no discrete middle number, take the sum of the two closest to the middle and divide by 2.

(24 + x)/2 = 28

Multiply by 2 on both sides to get:

24 + x = 56

Subtract 24 from both sides to isolate the variable:

x = 56 - 24
x = 32
