Real Number Crossed Symmetric System of Equations (Posted on 2023-09-18) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Each of x, y, and z is a real number that satisfies this system of equations:
• 1/x+y+z=3
• x+1/y+z=3
• x+y+1/z=3
Determine all possible solutions to the above system of equations.

Note: Adapted from a problem that appeared on 2017 El Salvador Math Olympiad.
