Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the average of two numbers is 40 and one of the numbers is 30, what is the other number? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that the average of two numbers is found by adding the numbers together and dividing by 2.
  • Step 2: Let the unknown number be represented as 'x'.
  • Step 3: Write the equation for the average: (30 + x) / 2 = 40.
  • Step 4: To eliminate the division, multiply both sides of the equation by 2: 30 + x = 80.
  • Step 5: Now, isolate 'x' by subtracting 30 from both sides: x = 80 - 30.
  • Step 6: Calculate the result: x = 50.
  • Average Calculation – Understanding how to calculate the average of two numbers and manipulate equations to find unknown values.
