Given,

M is the mean of six natural numbers x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 and x6.

x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x66\Rightarrow \dfrac{x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6}{6} = M

⇒ x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6 = 6M

⇒ x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6 = M + M + M + M + M + M

⇒ (x1 - M) + (x2 - M) + (x3 - M) + (x4 - M) + (x5 - M) + (x6 - M) = 0

Hence, proved that (x1 - M) + (x2 - M) + (x3 - M) + (x4 - M) + (x5 - M) + (x6 - M) = 0.
