(1) There are 5 numbers in the set: __ __ __ __ __
(2) The median is 44: __ __ 44 __ __
(3) The smallest number appears twice: x x 44 __ __
(4) The largest number is 10 more than the smallest and 4 more than the second largest: x x 44 (x+6) (x+10)
(5) The mean is 44:
x%2Bx%2B44%2B%28x%2B6%29%2B%28x%2B10%29+=+44%2A5
4x%2B60+=+220
4x+=+160
x+=+40

The numbers are
40 40 44 46 50

The largest number is 50.
