Answer:

the person entering the room is 10 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

x / 5 = 40

x = 40 * 5

x = 200

so the total of all the ages of 5 people is 200

x/ 6 = 35

x = 35 * 6

x = 210

the total of all the ages of 6 people would have to be 210 for there to be a mean age of 35

therefore, a ten year old kid entering the room, will make up the difference
