Question

THE MEAN OF 8,4,5,X,AND 10 IS 8 . FIND THE VALUE OF X

Answer 1

$\frac{8 + 4 + 5 + x + 10}{5} = 22$

$x = 22$

Answer 2

The value of x is 13

Given : The mean of 8,4,5,x and 10 is 8

To find : The value of x

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the value of x)

The sum of the given numbers :

= (8+4+5+x+10)

= 27+x

There are 5 numbers.

So, their average will be :

= Their sum ÷ 5

= (27+x)÷5

According to the data mentioned in the question,

(27+x)÷5 = 8

(27+x) = 5×8

27+x = 40

x = 40-27

x = 13

Hence, the value of x is 13
