What is the average (arithmetic mean) of x, y, and z?

(1) —x − 4y + 3z = 14

(2) 5x + 8y + z = 26

To find: x+y+z / 3 -------(a)

from 1, When we substitute for x in (a), we cannot get a value for y and z

x = - (14+4y-3z)

-3y+4z/3

from 2, When we substitute for z in (a), we cannot get a value for x and y

26 - 4x -7y/3

But when we combine both the statements, we can get the value of

just add 1 and 2
4x + 4y + 4z = 40

x+y+z as 10

Average becomes 10/3
