Find value of x such that the data set has a mean of 105: 99, 119, 106, 112; 108

I'm assuming that x is part of the data set, and, with x, the mean equals 105. To find the value of x, you must add all the data values together to get 544+x (you still don't know what x equals). Then put 544+x over how many days values there are, including x (there are 6). You should have 544+x/6. Now, as this is how you would calculate the mean if you knew what x was equal to, you must set it equal to the mean, since you know what it is (105). You should now have 544+x/6 = 105. You have your equation set up--now you just have to solve it. I would multiply by 6 on both sides to get rid of the 6 on the left side. You would then have 544+x = 630. I would finally subtract 544 from both sides to get x = 86. Your final answer is x = 86.
