The numbers are a, b, c.
After putting in the respective replacements, the numbers become
a, a+5, a+4.
In array format these numbers become
a, a+4, a+5.
The median is then a+4.
The average of the three numbers is %28a%2B%28a%2B4%29%2B%28a%2B5%29%29%2F3+=+%283a%2B9%29%2F3+=+a%2B3.
Therefore the difference between the median and the average is highlight%281%29.
