Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf \ \ age = 10\ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

let's write the mean computation, we note x the age of the additional person

[tex]\dfrac{14+14+18+18+22+x}{6}=16[/tex]

[tex]<=> 14+14+18+18+22+x = 6*16=96\\\\<=> x = 96 - ( 14+14+18+18+22)= 10[/tex]

So the age of the person is 10

hope this helps
