15 is coefficient, a is a variable, 2 and -7 are like terms, 15a is a term and 2 and 7 are constants.
To determine the median, we need to set up our numbers from least to greatest, and then place T in later to figure out what T is.
8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15. Cross out the smallest number with the largest number.
9, 9, 9, 10, 11, 12.
9, 9, 10, 11.
9, 10.
9.5 is our median currently.
Since we need to get a number after 10 to make 10 the median, let's use 12.
8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 11, 12, 12, 15.
9, 9, 9, 10, 11, 12 ,12.
9, 9, 10, 11, 12.
9, 10, 11.
10 is now our median since we inserted 12 into our list.
Your answer is 12.
I hope this helps!
