Find x?

Please answer quick!

Answer 1

x = 26

Explanation:

There are two numbers and average is the sum of a certain amount of numbers divided by the same amount.

21 × 2 = 42

42 - 16 = 26

x = 26

Answer 2

x = 26

Explanation:

Forming the equation,

→ (16 + x)/2 = 21

Now the value of x will be,

→ (16 + x)/2 = 21

→ 16 + x = 21 × 2

→ 16 + x = 42

→ x = 42 - 16

→ [ x = 26 ]

Hence, the value of x is 26.
