Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
<u>The mean of five numbers is 8</u> so we can write

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

From the first equation we can say

So the second equation becomes

The solution is then 2
Hope this helps
The numbers decrease by 6.
-1, -8, -14, -20, -26, -32, -38, -44, -50, -56, -62, -68, -74, -80, -86, -92, -98, -104, -110, -116, -122, -128, -134, -140, -146
Set both expressions equal to 0
x-3=0
x=3
2x-8=0
2x=8
x=4
your zeroes are 3 and 4
