Question 1175809:  Find an ordered triple (x,y,z) of real numbers satisfying x<= y<= z and the system of equations
 
sqrt{x} + sqrt{y} + sqrt{z} = 10, 
x + y + z = 38,  
sqrt{xy} + sqrt{xz} + sqrt{yz}= 30,
 
or, if there is no such triple, enter the word "none" as your answer.

To simplify my writhing, I introduce new variables
    a =  ;  b =  ;  c =  .
Then from the given conditions, I have
    a + b + c = 10           (1)
    a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 38     (2)
    ab + ac + bc = 30.       (3)
Square equation (1)  and use this identity  (a+b+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2ab + 2ac + 2bc.
You will get then
    10^2 = 38 + 2*30,   or
    100  = 38 + 60 = 98.     (4)
Since equality (4) is IMPOSSIBLE, it means that the given system of equations HAS NO solution.
 
Proved and solved.
 
 
Explained and completed.

sqrt{x} + sqrt{y} + sqrt{z} = 10, 
x + y + z = 38,  
sqrt{xy} + sqrt{xz} + sqrt{yz}= 30 
====================== 
(4,9,25) IF sqrt{xy} + sqrt{xz} + sqrt{yz}= 31
