Find the median of the following data set: "4 8 5 3 9 7 6"

6, Arrange your numbers in numerical order, Count how many numbers you have, If you have an odd number, divide by 2 and round up to get the position of the median number, then If you have an even number, divide by 2. Go to the number in that position and average it with the number in the next higher position to get the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
