For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.

We have then:

x: unknown number

We now write the equation that models the problem:

(\frac{1}{2}) x + 15 = 9

From here, we clear the value of x.

We multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

(\frac{2}{2}) x + 2 (15) = 2 (9)\\x + 30 = 18

We subtract 30 on both sides of the equation:

x + 30 - 30 = 18 - 30\\x = -12

Answer:

The value of the unknown number is given by:

x = -12

Answer:

Hey! First you will put the numbers in order least to greatest. So it would be -4.5, -4, -3.5, -2, -1, 0, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 4, 6. 0 is the median because it in in the middle here’s how. You cross out -4.5 and 6 then 4 and -4 then -3.5 and 2.5 then 2 and -2 then -1 and 1.5 and you’re left with just the 0! Hope this helped.
