HERE IS YOUR ANSWER HOOMAN:

8

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION FAM:

We have a set of four numbers and the mean is 5. We can see that the sum of the values is 20:


(20)/(4)=5

We have another set of three numbers whose mean is 12. We can write that as:


(36)/(3)=12

To find the mean of the seven numbers together, we can add the values together and divide by 7:


(20+36)/(7)=
(56)/(7)=8
