It's intolerable to type in a nonsense response to "help" the question asker - ask yourself that question.

Can you believe this?

Moderators, can you not do something to prevent rubbish like this littering the site ?

Subsequent from another user, who glided along nonchalantly on the noodle soup! - A person ( - or not, after all) who has swum away from the genuine truth has to stick his nose into all the pots in an unnecessary conservatism, ah yes: "what's the matter"?

This "block quote" describes the TRUE meaning after all of this preservation!

  x + 2y + 3z =   950                     (1)

3x + 2y +  0  = 1450                     (2)

  0 +   y + 3z =   500                     (3)

____________________________

Step 1: Add (2) + (3).

3x + 3y + 3z = 1950

____________________________

Step 2: Divide the equation by 3.

x +   y +  z  =   650

____________________________

Step 3: Calculate the average.

  x +   y +  z       650

  --------------  =  ------

         3                3

____________________________

Step 4: Final

The average of x, y and z are 650/3, approximately 216,67.

I will give you some tips to solve the "counting problem".

a) The minimum amount of digits of the positive integer has to be at least 4 since for 3 digits it is not possible to create an integer with the sum of the digits equal to 10 (3 + 3 + 3 < 10).

b) The maximal amount of digits of the positive integer is 10 (since concept a).

Think about the rearrangements of the digits, you just have to put in 1, 2 or 3.

I may return if a response popped up! ;)

Well, well, well... My recent post has been flagged for moderation for telling the absolute truth of the post above, by an anonymous (Guest). Though not trying to be rude, it is unbelievable no action has been taken by any other user. Although, this post is just the answer.

\(9y = 3 \cdot 6 \cdot 27 \cdot 4 \cdot 81 \cdot 2 \\ 9y = 36 \cdot 108 \cdot 81 \\ {\color{white}a} y = {\color{white}a}4 \cdot {\color{white}a}12 \cdot {\color{white}a}9 \\ {\color{blue}{\color{white}a} y = 432}\)

Therefore, the answer for y is 432.

I am seriously saying that this seems like a mess, though not trying to be rude.

(a) Can those five toppings even be the same or do they have to be different from each other? Maybe I am currently misunderstanding the question, just asking.

Since no one said that they must be different, which to be honest does not make sense, would be 'horrid' and unlogical.

I assume them to be different from each other:

If that is the case, topping 1 can be any of these 10 ingredients, topping 2 one less, topping 3 one less from topping two and so on. Now think about what to do with these possibilities and what truly makes sense to you.

I may come back if the question aforementioned is answered.

What do you exactly mean by that?
