Verified Answer :

that would be (171 + x) / 2....what u do to find the average is add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.

Answer:  \(\dfrac{\text{171+x}}{\text{2}}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the average of any n observations is given by :-

\(\text{Average}=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}\)

The given observations : x and 171

Sum of observations : \(x+171\)

Number of observations : 2

Now, the average of 171 and x is given by :-

\(\text{Average}=\dfrac{\text{171+x}}{\text{2}}\)

Hence, the expression represents the average of 171 and x is \(\dfrac{\text{171+x}}{\text{2}}\).
