a is the average ( arithmetic mean ) of the first 7 positive multiples of 7 and b is the median of the first 3 positive multiples of positive integer n . if the value of a ^ 2 – b ^ 2 is zero , what is the value of n ?
"if a ^ 2 - b ^ 2 = 0 , then let ' s assume that a = b . a must equal the 4 th positive multiple of 4 , thus a = 28 , which also equals b . b is the second positive multiple of n , thus n = 28 / 2 = 14 . the answer is c ."
divide(multiply(7, const_4), 2)
