x , y , and z are consecutive numbers and x > y > z . also , 2 x + 3 y + 3 z = 5 y + 8 . what is the value of z ?
if x , y , and z are consecutive numbers and x > y > z , then y = z + 1 and x = z + 2 . 2 x + 3 y + 3 z = 5 y + 8 2 z + 4 + 3 z + 3 + 3 z = 5 z + 5 + 8 3 z = 6 z = 2 the answer is a .
divide(subtract(8, subtract(multiply(const_4, const_2), multiply(const_2, const_3))), const_3)
