Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is calculated as
mean = 
let the third number be x , then
= 15 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )
34 + x = 45 ( subtract 34 from both sides )
x = 11 ← third number
Answer:
y= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=42. We know that x plus y equals 42.
x=2y . We also know that x equals twice y.
2y+y=42. Since we know that x=2y, we're going to replace x with 2y from the original equation, simplified would be 3y=42.
y=14. 3y=42 simplified is y=14, this is because we divided both sides by 3 (since 3 and 42 are both divisible by 3) (btw divisible by 3 simply means that it can be divided by 3)
x+14=42. Now that we know what y equals, let's replace y with 14 from the original equation.
x=28. Now that we know that x=28 and y=14, we know that y is always x/2.
When x=-8, we divide it by 2 and get, -4.
Not absolutely positive as this was all mental math, but hope this helps! :)
The sum of b and f is b+f
Three times this sum is 3(b+f)
