I won't do your problem for you.  Instead I'll do one EXACTLY like it
so you can do yours EXACTLY the same way.

I'll do this one instead:

The average of a set of 14 numbers, which include 28, is A. If 28 is removed from
the set and 45 is included to the set, what is the average of the new set of
number in terms of A
Suppose the set of 14 numbers is {28,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N}

Since the average = A,



So we multiply both sides by 14:



We substract 28 from both sides



We add 45 to both sides





We divide both sides by 14:



Answer:  

Now do yours the same way.
