Not the most efficient but it works. Good work!
It took me almost 25 mins to answer, but if I did this solution it might be 10 mins.
⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎧ x ( y + z ) = x y + x z = 3 9 y ( x + z ) = x y + y z = 6 0 z ( x + y ) = x z + y z = 6 3 . . . ( 1 ) . . . ( 2 ) . . . ( 3 )
add all 3 equation it will give x y + y z + z x = 8 1 then put all 3 equation value in this new equation one by one. you will get x y = 1 8 , y z = 4 2 , x z = 2 1
now multiply all these 3 new equation it will give x y z = 1 2 6 .
now again put value of x y , y z , x z in this equation you will get value of x,y and z which is 7,3,6 so value of x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = 9 4
Almost perfect. Can you spot the error? Hint: ( x y z ) 2 = 1 2 6 2 .
if ( x y z ) 2 = 1 2 6 2 then did I write wrong that x y z = 1 2 6
in the third equation u did expansion is wrong --- xz + zy = 63
xy=18 imply that x and y must be of the same sign i.e. both x and y are either positive or negative. Similar conclusion may be drawn from equations zx= 21 and yz=42. Thus, x, y, z are either positive or negative simultaneously. Hence, xyz may be 126 or -126. Therefore, x= +3 or-3; y=+6 or -6 and z= +7 or -7
xyz can be both the value ±126 since we are taking its square root.... So that x can be positive or negative value... Similarly y and z also have positive or negative value.... But as we are considering the sum of the squares of each x , y and z it will always be positive.... So that will be 94....
x (y+z)=xy+xz(1) ,,y(x+z)=yx+yz(2),, z(x+y)=zx+zy (3),(1)+(2)=2xy+z(x+y)=99 so 2xy=99-63=36,xy =18. .,,,(2)+(3)=2zy+x(y+z)=123=2zy=123-39,zy=42,(1)+(3)=2zx+y(x+z)=102-60=42,zx =21,,so xy÷ zx =18÷21=6÷7,y =6z÷7,zy =42,so ,,z× y =z× 6z=42×7 ,,z=+or-7,y =+or-6,x=+or-3,,,,,,,,,,expression x^2 +y^2 +z^2 =94###
Adding all the first 3 equations , we get xy+xz+yz=81, so from the first, second, and third equation, we get resp. yz=42, xz=21, and xy=18. Multiply these we get xyz =+or - 126, so x=+ or -126/42, x=+ or -3, y=+ 0r -6, and z= + 0r -7. So x^2+y^2+z^2 = 94
by looking at given equations, it is evident that x,y,z has to be multiple of 3, therefore x=3, y=6, z=7.
3^2+6^2+7^2= 94
If you knew ahead of time that the variables were integers the problem would be much simpler, not least because 39 is the product of two low primes, so either x is 3 or 13. Unfortunately you don't know that.
However it is easy to see that x(y+z)+21 = z(x+y)-3 so that xy+21=zy-3, leading to y(z-x)=24. You already know that y(z+x)=60 so putting that together gives you yz=42, then xy=18 and xz=21. And since 42 is twice 21, y=2x and you are on the home straight: xy=18 so 2x^2=18 and x is +/-3. Then y is +/-6 and z is +/-7 and squaring and adding them all gives you 94.

It is given that:
