First, we rewrite the equations:
3xy=2x+2y 5yz=6y+6z 4zx=3z+3x Now, divide each equation by xy, yz, and zx respectively: xy3xy=xy2x+xy2y⇒3=y2+x2 yz5yz=yz6y+yz6z⇒5=z6+y6 zx4zx=zx3z+zx3x⇒4=x3+z3 Let a=x1, b=y1, and c=z1. Then the equations become: 3=2b+2a 5=6c+6b 4=3a+3c Dividing the equations by 2, 6, and 3 respectively, we get:
1.5=a+b 65=b+c 34=a+c We have the system:
a+b=23 (1) b+c=65 (2) a+c=34 (3) Subtract equation (2) from equation (1):
a−c=23−65=69−5=64=32 (4) Add equation (3) and equation (4):
2a=34+32=36=2 From equation (1):
b=23−a=23−1=21 From equation (3):
c=34−a=34−1=31 Since a=x1, b=y1, and c=z1, we have: x=a1=11=1 y=b1=211=2 z=c1=311=3
