Let R=-3, S=3 and T=6, implying that r=|-3|=3, s=|3|=3, and t=|6|=6.BTGmoderatorDC wrote:

We can let R, S, and T be the actual values. Thus, we want to determine the value of (R + S + T)/3. Since S and T are positive, S = s and T = t. However, since R is negative, R = -r. Thus, the average becomes:BTGmoderatorDC wrote:
