If the range of the set containing the numbers x, y, and z is 8, what is the value of the smallest number in the set?
Let the numbers in ascending order be {x, y, z} (it really doesn't matter how we group them).
The range of a set is the difference between the largest and smallest elements in the set.
Given:\(z-x=8\) . Question:\(x=?\)
(1) The average of the set containing the numbers x, y, z, and 8 is 12.5 -->\(x+y+z+8=4*12.5=50\) -->\(x+y+z=42\) : 2 distinct linear equations 3 with unknowns. Not
