Answer:

The number of coins Julia found is 5

Explanation:

We know that the total number of gold coins collected divided by the number of people collecting is 6. So we can set up an equation:


(6+5+6+8+x)/(5)=6

this simplifies to:


(25+x)/(5)=6

Using the multiplication property of equality and multiplying both sides by we get:

25+x=30

Then finally, using the subtraction property of equality we get our answer:

x=5
