Problem
The mean, median, and mode of the 
data values 
are all equal to 
. What is the value of ?
Solution 1
Since is the mean,
Therefore, 
, so 
Solution 2
Note that must be the median so it must equal either 
or 
. You can see that the mean is also , and by intuition should be the greater one. $x=\box{90}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
Check
Order the list: 
. must be either or because it is both the median and the mode of the set. Thus is correct.
