( sum of all 6 ages ) / 6 = 30
( sum of all 6 ages + age of new person ) / 7 = 38 }}}
---------------------------------------------
sum of all 6 ages = 6*30
sum of all 6 ages = 180
--------------------
( sum of all 6 ages + age of new person ) / 7 = 38
( 180 + age of new person ) / 7 = 38
( 180 + age of new person ) = 7*38
age of new person = 7*38 - 180
age of new person = 266 - 180
age of new person = 86
