Question

Is the mean of 2 3 4 6 x and 8 is 5 find the value of x​

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

We can start by counting the number of values we have, which would be 6 if we count the x. Now multiply 5 by 6 and we get 30. Now we know that 2+3+4+6+x+8 is 30 and so we can subtract all the values, giving us x=7. If we substitute it back in, we get 2+8 which is 10, 4+6 which is also 10, and 7+3 which is 10 again. 10+10+10=30 and now divide 30 by 6 and we get 5; the mean. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Explanation:

The mean is the total sum of the numbers all over the amount of numbers in the question.

Mean=(2+3+4+6+x+8)÷6

NB: 6 is the number of figures available in the question

If Mean =5

5=(23+x)÷6

Multiply both side by 6

5 x 6 = 23 + x

30 = 23 + x

30 - 23 = x

7 = x
