    Solution

    \[ \begin{array}{l|l|l|l} \hline 5 & \mathrm{x} & \mathrm{y} & \mathrm{z} \\ \hline & \mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}, \mathrm{z} \in\{0,1,2,5,9\} \\ \hline & \frac{5+\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{z}}{3}=1+\frac{\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{z}+2}{3} \in \mathrm{I} \end{array} \]
    [t]{|l|l|l|}
    $\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{z}$
    (x,y,z) ways
    1 0,0,1 $3!/ 2!=3$
    4 0,2,2 $3!/ 2!=3$
    4 1,1,2 $3!/ 2!=3$
    7 0,2,5 $3!=6$
    7 1,1,5 $3!/ 2!=3$
    10 0,1,9 $3!=6$
    10 0,5,5 $3!/ 2!=3$
    13 9,2,2 $3!/ 2!=3$
    16 2,5,9 $3!=6$
    19 9,9,1 $3!/ 2!=3$
    19 5,5,9 $3!/ 2!=3$

    Total possible ways of $\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}, \mathrm{z}=42$ Answer(42)
