Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation by applying the distributive property and combine like terms. Then use inverse operations to isolate the variable.

2(4x – 3) = 2(x + 2) + 8           Distributive Property

8x - 6 = 2x + 4 + 8                  Add 4 + 8

8x - 6 = 2x + 12                       Add 6 to both sides

8x = 2x + 12 + 6                      Add 12 + 6

8x = 2x + 18                            Subtract 2x from both sides

8x - 2x = 18                             Subtract 8x - 2x

6x = 18                                    Divide by 6

x = 3

Do this to all the numbers then multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator. simplify normally and convert to a mixed number.

Median: 11

Mode: There is none

Step-by-step explanation:

median- you arrange the data set by numerical value (increasing) and it is basically the "middle number" for example 1, 2, 3, (2 would be the "middle" number" )

mode- is the number that appears most often. in this scenario, all numbers appear the same amount of times (1) so there is no mode.
