Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ 2  \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

<u>The mean of five numbers is 8</u> so we can write

\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5}{5}=8

<u>When another number is added the mean is 7</u>, let s note x the another number we can write

\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x}{6}=7

From the first equation we can say

x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5=8*5=40

So the second equation becomes

\dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x}{6}=7\\\\ \dfrac{40+x}{6}=7\\\\40 + x = 6*7=42\\\\ x = 42-40 = 2\\

The solution is then 2

Hope this helps
