Answer:
On the inside right side of the triangle.
From clue 3, we know that the three numbers average to 15. This means we add up the three numbers x,y and z and divide by 3 to get 15. So one equation is (x+y+z)/3 = 15 which turns into x+y+z = 45 after multiplying both sides by 3.
Let's say that x < y < z. In other words x is the smallest number, y is the middle and z is the largest. Based on clue 2, this would tell us that z = 8*x (since largest is 8 times the smallest). We can replace the 'z' in the equation x+y+z = 45 with 8x like so
x+y+z = 45
x+y+8x = 45 ... replace z with 8x
9x+y = 45
Now onto clue #1. The smallest number x is a prime number and it is 1/6 times the size of the middle number y. Put another way, the middle number y is 6 times larger than the smallest number. We have this equation y = 6*x
9x+y = 45
9x+6x = 45 ... replace ywith 6x
15x = 45
x = 45/15
x = 3 which is a prime number
Now that we know x = 3, we can use it to find y
y = 6*x = 6*3 = 18
and then use x = 3 to find z
z = 8*x = 8*3 = 24
Therefore the three mystery numbers are 3, 18, and 24. Note how these three values add to 3+18+24 = 45 which you then divide over 3 to get 45/3 = 15. So the average of the values 3, 18, 24 is the number 15. This helps confirm the answer.

The geometric series with 4th term as 10 and 7th term as 80 has the sum of the first tenth terms as 1278.75.
<h3>How to find sum of terms in geometric series?</h3>
aₙ = arⁿ⁻¹
where
- a = first term
- r = common ratio
- n = number of terms
Therefore,
10 = ar³
80 = ar⁶
Hence,
a = 10 / r³
80 = (10 / r₃) r⁶
80 = 10r³
r³ = 80 / 10
r = ∛8
r = 2
a = 10 / 2³
a = 10 / 8 = 5 / 4
The sum of 10 terms can be calculated as follows:
Sₙ = a(rⁿ - 1) / r - 1
Sₙ = 5 / 4 (2¹⁰ - 1) / 2 - 1
Sₙ = 5 / 4 (1024 - 1) / 1
Sₙ = 1.25(1023)
Sₙ = 1278.75
