• Taking 3 pairs of equations individually-
  1> 3x+2 = 5y
  3x = 5y -2 => x=5y-2/3 which gives for y=4, x=6
  2> 5y = 7z+6
  y = 7z+6/5 => This gives for z=2. y=4
  3> 3x = 7z+4
  x = 7z+4/3 => This gives for z=2, x=6
  Hence x : y : z ratio will be 6 : 4 : 2
  Hence minimum roots= (x,y,z)= (6,4,2)
