The average of six numbers is 4. if the of two of those numbers is 2, what is the average of the other four numbers?

5

Step-by-step explanation:

total sum of the 6 numbers

= 4 ×6

= 24

sum of numbers without the two 2s

= 24 - 2(2)

= 20

average of other 4 numbers

= 20 ÷ 4

= 5

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

=240

=48
