1. The arithmetic mean equation is:

\frac{65 + 70 + 80 + 2x}{5} = 72

2. Calculate the sum of the first three grades:

65 + 70 + 80 = 215

3. Substitute into the mean equation:

\frac{215 + 2x}{5} = 72

4. Multiply both sides by 5 to eliminate the denominator:

215 + 2x = 360

5. Solve for \( x \):

2x = 360 - 215

2x = 145

6. Divide both sides by 2 to find \( x \):

x = 72.5

The grade of the remaining two students is 72.5 each.
