Answer:

9

Explanation:

In Order to gain the mean you would follow the formula:

Total Sum of all Numbers added together / Amount of integers.

In this case, you have 5 numbers 1, 3 , 5 , 2 , x .

I know that the overall sum of all your integers added together must equal 20, as 20 / 5 = 4.

1 + 3 + 5 + 2 = 11.

Therefore x must be 9.

1 + 3 + 5 + 2 + 9 = 20

20 / 5 = 4.

Hope this helps and mark as brainilest if found useful.
