SOLUTION: the average of 3 days temperatures is 102.26
the first day is 120.25
the second day is 94.45
the third is x
I don't quite understand how to find x when the average is part of t

Question 32620: the average of 3 days temperatures is 102.26
the first day is 120.25
the second day is 94.45
the third is x
I don't quite understand how to find x when the average is part of the known numbers Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Recall, the average (mean) of a set of numbers is the sum of the numbers divided by how numbers there are.
So, if we add up (sum) the temperatures for the 3 days and divide by 3 we get the average temperature for those days. Solve for x. Multiply both sides by 3. Subtract 214.7 from both sides.
