Using a system of equations, it is found that:
The greatest possible value of one of the numbers is 26.
The possible values are all values of x,y and z different of 12 and 9 such that:
---------------------
There are 5 distinct numbers, with a sum of 50, thus they are:
Two of them are 12 and 9, thus , and:
The greatest possible value of one of the numbers is 26, as then one would be 2 and the other 1, having five distinct numbers.
The possible values are all values of x,y and z different of 12 and 9 such that:
