Given:
(x+y)(x+y+z)=66----------------------------------------eq.1
(z+y)(x+y+z)=99----------------------------------------eq.2
(z+x)(x+y+z)=77----------------------------------------eq.3
Solution : Add all 3 equations

x+y+z = 11 -------------------------------------------eq.4
substitute eq.4 in eq. 1 , eq.2 and eq.3 , we get
x+y = 6------------------------------------------------eq.5
y+z = 9------------------------------------------------eq.6
x+z = 7------------------------------------------------eq.7
Add eq.5 and 6, we get
---------------------------------------eq.8
Subtract eq.4 from eq.8, we get
y = 4 --------------------------------------------------a
Put a in eq.5 and eq.6, we get,
X = 2 , Z = 5, Y = 4
