Given that 2x +7 =27 and 3x +1 =28, does 2x +7= 3x+1? explain

This is not true

Step-by-step explanation:

If  2X +7 =27 and 3X +1 =28

does 2X +7= 3X+1

This is not true

2x+7  = 27  and 3x+1 = 28

2X +7= 3X+1

27 = 28

This is never true so

2X +7= 3X+1  this cannot be true

You should use a median as a measure of center when you have data that is not distributed evenly.  For example, if you have a number that is a lot bigger or smaller than most of the numbers, using the mean would be a better way to show one value to represent the information.  When representing data on a line/dot plot or a histogram, you should use the median to represent the data if it is skewed left or right.  This means it looks longer on one side or when looking at the middle, it does not look the same on both sides (symetric).
