The average age of a group going for picnic is . persons with average age join them so that the average age becomes . Then the number of persons who were initially going for picnic:
Let the initial number of persons in the group be .
The initial average age of these individuals is .
Therefore, the sum of ages of the initial group of people is:
A new group of joins the picnic.
Their average age is given as .
The sum of ages of these new individuals is:
After joining, the total number of people becomes .
The new combined average age of the whole group becomes .
Therefore, the total combined sum of ages can be represented in two ways:
Expand the left side of the linear equation:
Rearrange the terms to group all variables on one side and constants on the other:
