![(1/(a + b)) + (1/c) = (1/2) ⇒ ((c + a + b)/(ac + bc)) = (1/2) ⇒ ((ac + bc)/(a + b + c)) = 2 .... (1) From the other two equations same way we can get ((ac + ab)/(a + b + c)) = 3 .... (2) ((ab + bc)/(a + b + c)) = 4 .... (3) (1) + (2) + (3) ((2(ab + bc + ca) )/(a + b + c)) = 9 ⇒ ((ab + bc + ca)/(a + b + c)) = 4.5 .... (4) (4) − (1) ((ab )/(a + b + c)) = 2.5 .... (5) (4) − (2) ((bc)/(a + b + c)) = 1.5 .... (6) (4) − (3) ((ca)/(a + b + c)) = 0.5 .... (7) (5) ÷ (6) ((ab)/(bc)) = ((2.5)/(1.5)) ⇒ (a/c) = (5/3) ⇒ c = ((3a)/5) (6) ÷ (7) ((bc)/(ca)) = ((1.5)/(0.5)) ⇒ (b/a) = 3 ⇒ b = 3a ((ab)/(a + b + c)) = 2.5 = (5/2) ⇒ ((a × 3a)/(a + 3a + ((3a)/5))) = (5/2) ⇒ ((3a^2 )/((23a)/5)) = (5/2) ⇒ ((15a)/(23)) = (5/2) ⇒ a = (5/2) × ((23)/(15)) = ((23)/6) b = 3a = 3 × ((23)/6) = ((23)/2) c = ((3a)/5) = (3/5) × ((23)/6) = ((23)/(10))](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q206327.png)
