Suppose that x,y,z are positive integers satisfying x ≤ y ≤ z, and such that the product of all three numbers is twice their sum. What is the sum of all possible values of z?

22 is incorrect guest, but thanks for trying!

4 is also incorrect, guest. Thanks for your effort!

1  = (2, 2, 4)
2  = (1, 4, 5)
3  = (1, 3, 8)

So would the answer be 

(2+2+4)+(1+4+5)+(1+3+8)?

Thank you, but it says that is incorrect.

1 - (2 * 2 * 4) ==2 * (2 + 2 + 4) ==16 = 16

 

2 - (1 * 4 * 5) ==2 * (1 + 4 + 5) ==20 = 20

 

3 - (1 * 3 * 8) ==2 * ( 1+ 3 + 8) ==24 = 24

Sum of all possible value of z ==4 + 5 + 8 ==17

Both of those are also incorrect, I'm so sorry. I appreciate your help though!

159  167  235  333  Total =  4

 

 

Then the sum of all possible values of z is 9 + 7 + 5 + 3 = 24.

That was wrong, sorry.
