SOLUTION: If for three distinct positive numbers x, y and z, y/x-z = x+y/z = x/y' then find the numerical value x/y.

The formulas in your post are written in AMBIGOUS way.

For example, I can read y/x-z as y/(x-z) or as (y/x) - z.

THEREFORE, when you post the formulas to this forum, use parentheses

properly and systematically to show every time, which part of the expression

is the numerator and which is the denominator.

So, edit your formulas and re-post to the forum.

Please do not post it to me personally.
