Prime or Composite? (3) (Posted on 2023-06-10)

Each of a, b, c, x, y, and z is an integer that satisfy this relationship:

         ayz = bzx = cxy

Can a+b+c+x+y+z be a prime number?

If so, provide an example.
If not, prove it with valid reasoning.

If each of a, b, c, x, y, and z is a positive integer, then a+b+c+x+y+z can never be a prime number.
For an explanation, refer to the solution submitted by Brian Smith in this location.
