total observations(n)=8(even)
median= 18
we know formula for calculating median for even no= ((n/2+1)+(n/2))/2
18= ((8/2+1)+(8/2))/2
18=((5)th+(4)th observations)/2
18=((18+x)+(16+x))/2
18=(18+x+16+x)/2
18=(34+2x)/2
18 X 2=34+2x
36=34+2x
36-34=2x
2=2x
2/2=x
which implies,,, x=1
hence the value of x=1
