Calculating Real $(x,y,z)$ with System of Equations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving a system of equations involving real numbers $(x,y,z)$ defined by the equations $x[x]+z\{z\}-y\{y\} = 0.16$, $y[y]+x\{x\}-z\{z\} = 0.25$, and $z[z]+y\{y\}-x\{x\} = 0.49$. The user initially attempts to combine the equations but struggles with the concepts of the greatest integer function and fractional parts. A suggestion is made to simplify the equations by expressing them in terms of squares, specifically using the identity $x^2=x([x]+\{x\})$. This approach aims to eliminate the complexity introduced by the greatest integer and fractional part notations.

PREREQUISITES

Calculation of Real $(x,y,z)$ in

$x[x]+z\{z\}-y\{y\} = 0.16$

$y[y]+x\{x\}-z\{z\} = 0.25$

$z[z]+y\{y\}-x\{x\} = 0.49$

where $[x] = $ Greatest Integer of $x$ and $\{x\} = $ fractional part of x

My try:: Add $(i) + (ii)+(iii)$

$x[x]+y[y]+z[z] = 0.9$

Now I did not Understand How Can I proceed after that,

please Help me

Thanks

Hi jacks! :)

It seems to me that you need to get rid of all those "greatest integer" and "fractional part" thingies.
What draws my attention is that they only occur in conjunction with the same variable.
Perhaps it is useful to consider that $x^2=x([x]+\{x\})=x[x]+x\{x\}$?
You might for instance subtract (iii) from (i) and apply that...
