average = \(\frac{(2x + 3+ 5x − 4+ 6x-6+3x-1)}{4}\) = \(\frac{4(4x-2)}{4}\) = \(4x-2\)
So the answer is D

Theory: Average = \(\frac{Sum Of All The Values}{Total Number Of Values}\)
We need to find the average (arithmetic mean) of 2x + 3, 5x − 4, 6x − 6, and 3x − 1
Total Number of Values= 4
Sum of all the values= 2x + 3 + 5x − 4 + 6x − 6 + 3x − 1
= 2x + 5x + 6x + 3x + 3 - 4 - 6 - 1
= 16x - 8
=> Average = \(\frac{Sum Of All The Values}{Total Number Of Values}\) = \(\frac{16x - 8 }{ 4}\)
= \(\frac{16x}{4}\) - \(\frac{8}{4}\)
= 4x - 2
So, Answer will be D
Hope it helps!
