You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the mean of a set of seven integers is 5, what is the greatest
possible integer in the set?
-------------
The sum is 7*5 = 35
The 6 smallest (if they have to be different) are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6
The sum of those 6 = 21
--> the largest is 14
-----------------
It could be 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 29 too.
