Average and mean

Suppose that the average of the four values, {-1, x, -2x, 3}, is equal to x - 1. Find the value of x.

Correct answer:

x =  1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

(1+x+(2) x+3)/4=x1  5x=6  x=56=1.2  x=56=1.2   Verifying Solution:   m1=41+x+(2) x+3=41+1.2+(2) 1.2+3=51=0.2 m2=x1=1.21=51=0.2
