It's true you didn't ask a question....
But a response is worthwhile because it shows you a problem solving technique that can be used in my types of problems where in fact you are working with the average of two numbers.
The average of two numbers is the number halfway between the two numbers. So the two numbers can be any numbers that are the some distance either side of the average.
Algebraically, two numbers with an average of 15 are 15+a and 15-a, where a is any number you want it to be, including 0.
a=0: 15+0 and 15-0, or 15 and 15
a=1: 15+1 and 15-1, or 16 and 14
etc....
You could even do something ugly like 15+3pi and 15-3pi....
Think of using this technique when you run into other problems involving the average of two numbers....
