Question

if the average of the given data 6,10,12,x, 16 is 14,find the value of x.​

Answer 1

Answer:

average of 6,10,12,x,16 is

(6+10+12+x+16)/5=14

=> 44+x=14×5

=> x=70-44

=> x=26

value of x is 26

Answer 2

$average \: of \: data = 14 \\ \\ \frac{6 + 10 + 12 + x + 16}{5} = 14 \\ \\ 44 + x = 70 \\ \\ \boxed{x =26 } \\ \color{blue} \rightarrow the \: value \: of \: x \: is \: \underline{26}.$
