$49=\frac{x_1+x_2+...+x_7}{7}$ $\frac{x_1+1+x_2+2+..+x_7+7}{7}=\frac{x_1+x_2+...+x_7+28}{7}$ $=49+\frac{28}{7}=49+4=53$

The average is equal to the sum of all the numbers divided by the number of numbers. So if the numbers add up to some number S, then the average A is A = S/7 But we know that the average is 49, so A = 49, which means that A = S/7 49 = S/7 49*7 = S 343 = S So S = 343 Since we're adding 1 to the first, 2 to the second, etc all the way up to 7 to the seventh, we're basically adding 1+2+3+4+5+6+7 = 28 to S to get S+28, which means that the new sum is now S+28 = 343 + 28 = 371 Now divide this new sum by 7 to get 53 So the new average is 53
