If the average of seven consecutive numbers is
There are two methods.
Method 1:
Since the average of 
consecutive number is 
, we can express this as:
Cross-multiply
Subtract 
on both sides then divide both sides by 
Since we are looking for the second term, just plug into expression 
. That means answer is 
or 
.
Method 2:
Since the average of 
consecutive number is 
, this means the median is also 
. Consecutive means one after another and with each term having the same difference, we know the mean equals the median. Since there are 
terms, the median will have 
terms left and right of it. Then, the series will go 
. The second term is
