the mean of three number is 15. if 2 of the numbers are 18 and 16 what is the third number​

Answer :

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is calculated as

mean = [tex]\frac{sum}{count}[/tex]

let the third number be x , then

[tex]\frac{18+16+x}{3}[/tex] = 15 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

34 + x = 45 ( subtract 34 from both sides )

x = 11 ← third number
