Instead of doing your homework for you, I'll do one 
exactly like it with different numbers.
You can use it as a step-by-step guide:

The exactly similar problem is:

In a set of eleven numbers, the average of the first six is 9 and
the average of the last five is 20. what is the average of all
eleven numbers?
in a set of eleven numbers,
Let the numbers be a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k

the average of the first 6 is 9 
So



and therefore

a+b+c+d+e+f = 54

and the average of the last 5 is 20. 


and therefore

g+h+i+j+k = 100

what is the average of all eleven numbers


Answer = 14

Now you do yours exactly step-by-step the same way.
