<math>x</math> must be in the middle of the list. Order the known list first: <math>\{40,50,60,90,100,200\}</math>.
 
<math>x</math> occurs the most times, and it is the average of the list.
 
 
 
<math>\#1:</math>
 
<math>x</math> is either <math>60</math> or <math>90</math> because it is the median and the mode.
 
 
 
<math>\#2:</math>
 
<math>x</math> is the average of the set values.
 
<cmath>x=\frac{40+50+60+90+100+200+x}{7}</cmath>
 
<cmath>x=\frac{540+x}{7}</cmath>
 
<cmath>7x=540+x</cmath>
 
<cmath>6x=540</cmath>
 
<cmath>x=\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\text{ 90}</cmath>
