[tex] \frac{8 + 4 + 5 + x + 10}{5} = 22[/tex]
[tex]x = 22[/tex]
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
