Answer:
10 years
Step-by-step explanation:
the average or mean value is the sum of all data points divided by the number of data points.
x = the unknown age of the 5th student.
average = 9 = (5 + 7 + 8 + 15 + x)/5
45 = 5 + 7 + 8 + 15 + x = 35 + x
x = 45 - 35 = 10
the 5th student is 10 years old.

???
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive terms will be equal , then
a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is
x + 9 - (3x - 2) = 2x + 5 - (x + 9) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
x + 9 - 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 - x - 9 , simplify both sides
- 2x + 11 = x - 4 ( subtract x from both sides )
- 3x + 11 = - 4 ( subtract 11 from both sides )
- 3x = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 5
