Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. \(\displaystyle (a + b)/2 = 10\), \(\displaystyle (b + 10)/2 = c/2\), az elsőből \(\displaystyle a = 20 - b\), a másodikból \(\displaystyle c = b + 10\), ezért \(\displaystyle (a + c)/2 = (20 - b + b + 10) / 2 = 15\).
