$${z}=\mathrm{2}{k}\Rightarrow\mathrm{38}{x}+\mathrm{40}{y}+\mathrm{82}{k}=\mathrm{520} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{19}{x}+\mathrm{20}{y}+\mathrm{41}{k}=\mathrm{260}\Rightarrow{k}\leqslant\mathrm{6} \\ $$$$\mathrm{19}{x}+\mathrm{41}{k}\equiv\mathrm{0}\left({mod}\:\mathrm{10}\right)\Rightarrow{k}\equiv{x}\left({mod}\:\mathrm{10}\right) \\ $$$$−{x}+{k}\equiv\mathrm{0}\left({mod}\:\mathrm{20}\right)\:\:\:\Rightarrow{x}={k} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{19}{k}+\mathrm{20}{y}+\mathrm{41}{k}=\mathrm{20}{y}+\mathrm{60}{k}=\mathrm{260} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{y}+\mathrm{3}{k}=\mathrm{13}\Rightarrow{y}=\mathrm{13}−\mathrm{3}{k} \\ $$$$\mathrm{19}{k}+\mathrm{20}\left(\mathrm{13}−\mathrm{3}{k}\right)+\mathrm{41}{k}=\mathrm{260}\Rightarrow{x}={k}=\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow{y}=\mathrm{13} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}+{y}+{z}=\mathrm{13} \\ $$
