SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on solving the system of equations involving positive real numbers \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) defined by the equations \(x=\sqrt{y^2-\frac{1}{25}}+\sqrt{z^2-\frac{1}{25}}\), \(y=\sqrt{z^2-\frac{1}{36}}+\sqrt{x^2-\frac{1}{36}}\), and \(z=\sqrt{x^2-\frac{1}{49}}+\sqrt{y^2-\frac{1}{49}}\). Participants analyze the relationships and derive the ratio \(x:y:z\). The solution requires manipulating square roots and understanding the implications of the constraints on \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) being positive real numbers.
