The following data has been arranged in ascending order:
28,32,35,40,46,X,56,64,76,88,99.
If the median of the data is 58, find the value of x.
X = MEDIAN = 58

How can one find "x" if you don't state what "x" represents?

I do hope that whatever knowledge of math you may have, you will have realized by now that: 

If that knowledge has led you to believe that X = x, then X = x = 58.
