given   ((a+b)/c) + ((a+c)/b) +((b+c)/a) = 9  a^2 +b^2 +c^2  = 12   maximum value of a+b+c is

$${given}\: \\ $$$$\frac{{a}+{b}}{{c}}\:+\:\frac{{a}+{c}}{{b}}\:+\frac{{b}+{c}}{{a}}\:=\:\mathrm{9} \\ $$$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{b}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\mathrm{12}\: \\ $$$${maximum}\:{value}\:{of}\:{a}+{b}+{c}\:{is} \\ $$

a+b+c≤6(√3) ?

$${a}+{b}+{c}\leqslant\mathrm{6}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\:? \\ $$

let a+b+c = k  ((a+b+c−c)/c)+((a+b+c−b)/b)+((a+b+c−a)/a)=9  (k/c)+(k/b)+(k/a)=12⇒   k(((b+c)/(bc))+(1/a))= 12  k(((ab+bc+ac)/(abc)))=12  let ab+bc+ac=m  mk = 12abc  (i) a^2 +b^2 +c^2  = (a+b+c)^2 −2(ab+ac+bc)  ab+ac+bc = ((k^2 −12)/2)  (ii)k(((k^2 −12)/(2abc)))=12 ⇒ k^3 −12k=24abc≤24((k/3))^3   27k^3 −324k≤24k^3   3k(k^2 −108)≤0   3k (k+6(√3))(k−6(√3))≤0  for k> 0 ⇒0 < k ≤ 6(√3)

you need only a little step to the final  solution:  k^3 −12k=24abc≤24(((a+b+c)/3))^3 =((24k^3 )/(27))  ⇒(k^3 /9)−12k≤0  ⇒k≤(√(9×12))=6(√3)

$${you}\:{need}\:{only}\:{a}\:{little}\:{step}\:{to}\:{the}\:{final} \\ $$$${solution}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{k}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{12k}=\mathrm{24abc}\leqslant\mathrm{24}\left(\frac{{a}+{b}+{c}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{3}} =\frac{\mathrm{24}{k}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{27}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{{k}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{9}}−\mathrm{12k}\leqslant\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{k}\leqslant\sqrt{\mathrm{9}×\mathrm{12}}=\mathrm{6}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$

please discuss:  can a+b+c reach this maximum 6(√3)?  i mean, is a+b+c<6(√3) or  a+b+c≤6(√3) correct?

we use AM sir? yes i agree with you

my question is if the “=” sign in  a+b+c≤6(√3) is valid.  i think it isn′t.  i.e. correct is:  a+b+c<6(√3).  what′s your opinion?

i not find this solution sir.

you mean this solution is wrong or  you mean you don′t know the correct  solution?

i think this solution is correct.  but i don′t know the solution does  it match in the book? answer  in the book were not included

k^3 −12k=24abc≤ ((k/3))^3  is wrong.  correct is:  k^3 −12k=24abc≤ 24((k/3))^3 .  this is for k>0.    if k<0, then  k^3 −12k=24abc≥−24((k/3))^3 .

$$\mathrm{k}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{12k}=\mathrm{24abc}\leqslant\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{3}} \:{is}\:{wrong}. \\ $$$${correct}\:{is}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{k}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{12k}=\mathrm{24abc}\leqslant\:\mathrm{24}\left(\frac{\mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{3}} . \\ $$$${this}\:{is}\:{for}\:{k}>\mathrm{0}. \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${if}\:{k}<\mathrm{0},\:{then} \\ $$$$\mathrm{k}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{12k}=\mathrm{24abc}\geqslant−\mathrm{24}\left(\frac{\mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{3}} . \\ $$
