Hello Guest!

 

x+y+z=10

x+y+z=42

xyz=20

 

xyz=400

z=400xy=42xy

z=(10xy)2

I. 400xy=42xy

II. 400xy=(10xy)2

 

 

 

y{3,3}x{2,2}

z{5,9,11,15}

z=3

x+y+3=42x+y=39

Error! To be continued.

As follows:

 

My statement above that "There are only four possibilities ..." assumes that we are dealing with integers only.
