[h=2]I'm trying to write a formula to solve for X in the image below. I want to know how many 5-star reveiws a client would need to get to an average of 4.5 stars if they already have 6 reviews averaging 4 stars.

Any suggestions? It's driving me crazy because I was never too good at algebra.

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
x=(6*(4.5-4))/(5-4.5)

substitute the relevant cell references. :)
