Step-by-step explanation:

x + 36 = 56

x = 56 - 36

56 - 36 = x

56 - 36 = 20

let y be previous average

let x be 7th number

(6y + x) ÷ 7 = 14

[6(15) + x] ÷ 7 = 14

90 + x = 14 × 7

x = 98 - 90

x = 8

let men be x

let women be 2x

2x + x = 30

3x = 30

3x/3 = 30/3

x = 10 men

2x

2(10)

= 20 women
