The average of seven daily high temperatures is 68 Fahrenheit. If two of the temperatures were 58° and 63°, what was the average of the other five daily high temperatures?
***
let x=average of the other five daily high temperatures
..
%2858%2B63%2B5x%29%2F7=68
7*68=121+5x
5x=476-121
5x=355
x=71
average of the other five daily high temperatures=71˚F
