Out of six numbers, the average of first five is 34 and

\n" ); document.write( "If last number is 14 then first number is
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a, b , c, d, e, 14
\n" ); document.write( "let x = (b+c+d+e)
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "\" Out of six numbers,the average of first five is 34\"
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28a%2Bx%29%2F5\"$ = 34
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 5
\n" ); document.write( "a + x = 170

\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B14%29%2F5\"$ = 28
\n" ); document.write( "x + 14 = 140
\n" ); document.write( "x = 140 - 14
\n" ); document.write( "x = 126
\n" ); document.write( "In the first equation replace x with 126
\n" ); document.write( "a + 126 = 170
