Remember that the mean of 8 numbers is simply the sum of those 8 numbers divided by 8. So let's make 'x' the sum of those eight numbers. So this makes\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F8=7\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now just multiply both sides by 7 to get \"x=56\". So the sum of the 8 numbers is 56.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
