Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2a + b = 6......equation 1

a - 6 = b

a = b + 6........equation 2

Putting equation 2 in equation 1

2 ( b + 6 ) + b = 6

2b + 12 + b = 6

3b = 6 - 12

3b = - 6

b = - 6 / 3

Therefore b = - 2

Now

a = - 2 + 6 = 4

hope it will help :)

Answer:

a = 4

b = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2a + b = 6

a - 6 = b

a - b = 6

Elimination

2a + b = 6

a - b = 6

________+

3a = 12

a = 12/3

a = 4

a - b = 6

4 - b = 6

-b = 6 - 4

-b = 2

b = -2

<h3>Answer:  Median = 6</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Sort the values from smallest to largest: {2, 5, 6, 10, 10}

Now cross off the first and last values to get this smaller set: {5, 6, 10}

Repeat the process one more time and we get this: {6}

This shows 6 is the middle most item of the original sorted set above. Therefore, 6 is the median.
