Answer: x = -14/5

Step-by-step explanation: We shall begin by expanding the brackets for both sides of the equation

-2/3 (x + 2) = 1/6 (x + 6)

(-2x/3) -4/3 = (x/6) + 1

By collecting like terms we now have

(-2x/3) - (x/6) = 1 + 4/3

(-4x - x)/6 = 7/3

-5x/6 = 7/3

By cross multiplication we now have

-5x (3) = 7 (6)

-15x = 42

x = -(42/15) {simplify further by dividing the RHS by 3}

x = -14/5

Therefore x equals, minus fourteen over five (-14/5)

I am not sure how to show you how to do a dot plot on this website, but to see how to do a dot plot

b) Put everything in order and find the middle
10, 10, 10, 20, 30, 30, 30, 30, 40, 50, 50, 50, 60, 60, 70, 70, 2040
                                             ^^
So 40 is in the middle, making it the median

c) Add all of the values together and divide by the total number of values.
10 + 10 + 10 + 20 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 40 + 50 + 50 + 50 + 60 + 60 + 70 + 70 + 2040 = 2660
2660 / 17 = 156.5
