Three liquids are at temperatures of 14 ◦C, 25◦C, and 33◦C, respectively. Equal masses of the first two liquids are mixed, and the equilibrium temperature is 16◦C. Equal masses of the second and third are then mixed, and the equilibrium temperature is 27.9 ◦C. Find the equilibrium temperature when equal masses of the first and third are mixed.

Answer in units of ◦C.
