test is 44 points. If 5 new students, each with an average score of 'x' points, join the class, and 8 students, each with an average score of '(x – 6)' points, leave the class, the new average score of the 12 remaining students becomes '(x – 1)' points. What is the total score of these 12 students?Solution
