Three liquids are at temperatures of 10 ◦C, 22◦C, and 29◦C, respectively. Equal masses of the first two liquids are mixed, and the equi- librium temperature is 12◦C. Equal masses of the second and third are then mixed, and theequilibrium temperature is 25.9◦C.Find the equilibrium temperature when equal masses of the first and third are mixed.Answer in units of ◦C.
