We know that the difference in the two scores is 40 and there are 5 SD's between them. Divide to find the amount of 1 SD: 40/5= 8. Because it's known that 58 is 2 SD's below the mean add 16 to 58 to get the answer, 74.

i set SD as variable X and two condition given in the question, can thus be derived into 2 equations
M-2X=58
M+3x=98
X = 8, therefore, M-Mean=74
