Using a formula, $$
\text{Mean} = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + \dots + x_n}{n}
$$

Here,

  • x1, x2, ..., xare the individual values in the data set
  • n is the total number of values

Putting all values, $$
\text{Mean} = \frac{15 + 20 + 25 + x + 30}{5} = 20
$$ 

$$
x= 10
$$

Therefore, the value of x that makes the mean 20 is 10.
