Answer:

median

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to sort the numbers from largest to smallest (you could go the other way as well).

60 52 48 44 20 16 12

The median is the middle number 44 in this case. The median has 3 numbers on its left and 3 on its right (in this case). 44 has 60 52 48 or its left and 20 16 and 12 on its right.

The mean is the average. We'll call it the new average

The mean is 60 + 52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12 = 252

The new mean is 252 / 7 = 36

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

The old median is the average between the middle 2 numbers (before you added 60 you had 6 numbers)

52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12 = the average of 44 + 20 which 64/2 = 32

The old mean was (52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12)/6 = 32.

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

The median increased from 44 to 32 = 12

The mean went from 32 to 36 which is 4

Answer: the median increased more

Which would not be a step in solving 3x + 1 + 2x = 2+ 4x?
valina [46]
Well here is how you solve.

You first combine like-terms.
3x + 1 + 2x = 2 + 4x
5x + 1 = 2 + 4x
Then you isolate the variable by subtracting 1 from both sides.
5x = 1 + 4x 
Then you do the same with 4x.
1x = 1
Now divide.
x = 1
Now I know this isn't the exact answer but if you look at the options you have, one of those shouldn't be shown, then that would be your answer. I hope this helps love! :)
