\n" ); document.write( "Note you did not ask a question about this, although it is almost certain what the question is.

\n" ); document.write( "Many tutors here will justifiably refuse to respond to a post in which the student did not ask a question.

\n" ); document.write( "The mean of 1,2,x,11,y,14 is 8...

\n" ); document.write( "\"mean\" means average:

\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2B2%2Bx%2B11%2By%2B14%29%2F6+=+8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2828%2Bx%2By%29%2F6+=+8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"28%2Bx%2By+=+48\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By+=+20\" [1]

\n" ); document.write( "... and the median is 9

\n" ); document.write( "The median is \"the one in the middle\". With 6 numbers, the median is the average of the 3rd and 4th:

\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B11+=+18\" [2]

\n" ); document.write( "Solve the pair of equations [1] and [2] using basic algebra....
