Question

I’m clueless! Can someone explain how to do this question step by step? Thanks! Extra points!! What is the average (arithmetic mean) of 4x + 5, 7x-6, and -8x+2?

Answer 1

Answer:

x+ 1/3 is the average

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, add the terms together and then divide by the number of terms.  There are 3 terms

(4x + 5+ 7x-6 + -8x+2)/3

Combine like terms

( 3x+1)/3

x+ 1/3 is the average
