X, Y, and Z are consecutive numbers and X > Y > Z. Also, 2X + 3Y + 3Z = 5Y + 8. What is the value of Z?  Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 5
E) 6
If X, Y, and Z are consecutive numbers and X &gt; Y &gt; Z, then Y = Z+1 and X = Z+2.   2X + 3Y + 3Z = 5Y + 8   2Z+4+3Z+3+3Z = 5Z+5+8   3Z = 6   Z = 2   The answer is 2.
