Answer: 4x + 0.5y
Step-by-step explanation:
Concept:
Here, we need to understand the idea of the mean (average).
The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.
If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.
Solve:
**Disclaimer** I assume the question is asking for the arithmetic mean instead of geometric. If it was, then you can refer to my answers. If it was not, then you can point it out and I will redo the question.
Terms: 2x-5y, 5x+2y, 8x+6y, x-y
Number of terms: 4
[(2x-5y) + (5x+2y) + (8x+6y) + (x-y)] / 4
=[2x + 5x + 8x + x + 2y - 5y + 6y - y] / 4
=[16x + 2y] / 4
=4x + 0.5y
Hope this helps!! :)
