    8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Consider that the way to calculate the mean is the sum total of the values in the series, divided by the number of the series so Mean = SumX / N

    We need to calculate the value of the first four numbers and last 3 numbers.

    For the first set

    5 = X/4 Therefore 5*4 = X so X is 20

    For the second set

    12 = Y/3 therefore 12*3 = Y so Y is 36

    Add them together to get the sum of the full set (remember the calculation for the mean)

    36 + 20 = 56

    Mean = Sum X (which is 56) / N (which is 7)

    So the answer is 56/7 = 8
