Then

The system of equations is indeterminate; there is an infinite family of solutions.

ANSWERS:

where p is any number (except 1, according to the problem description)

CHECK:

x^24=w --> x=w^(1/24)

y^40=w --> y=w^(1/40)

Then

xyz^12=w
(w^(1/24))*(w^(1/40))*(z^12)=w
(w^(5/120))*(w^(3/120))*(z^12)=w
(w^(8/120))*(z^12)=w
(w^(1/15))*(z^12)=w
z^12=w^(14/15)
z=w^(14/180)=w^(7/90)

The system of equations is indeterminate; there is an infinite family of solutions.

ANSWERS:

w=p^90 where p is any number (except 1, according to the problem description)

x=w^(1/24)=p^(90/24)=p^(15/4)
y=w^(1/40)=p^(90/40)=p^(9/4)
z=w^(7/90)
z^12=w^(84/90)=p^84

CHECK:
xyz^12=((p^(15/4))*(p^(9/4))*(p^84))=(p^6)(p^84)=p^90=w
