Answer by FrankM(1040) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have -1,+7,-1 and need to find a 4th number that zeroes out the differences.
7-1-1 = 5
and x-1, x+7, x-1, x-5 will average to x
You can substitute 62 for x to confirm, but this approach works regardless of the base number. We can answer without even knowing that average.
