Answer:

126 was removed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total before division took place was

Total = mean * 14

mean = 49

Total = 49 * 14

Total = 685

Now you subtract x from the total

685 - x

And divide by 13 [one number is missing]

(685 - x)/13

and the result = 43

(685 - x ) / 13 = 43                Multiply both sides by 13

685 - x  = 43 * 13

685 - x = 559                       Subtract 685 from both sides

- x = - 126                             Multiply by - 1

x = 126
