Problem

$\begin{array}{l}x y+x z+y z=0 \\ \frac{x+y}{z}+\frac{x+z}{y}+\frac{y+z}{x}=?\end{array}$

Solution

Step 1 :Given that $xy+xz+yz=0$, we can rewrite the expression as $ rac{x+y}{z}+ rac{x+z}{y}+ rac{y+z}{x}$

Step 2 :By multiplying each term by $x$, $y$, and $z$ respectively, we get $ rac{x^2+xy}{xz}+ rac{xy+y^2}{yz}+ rac{xz+z^2}{xz}$

Step 3 :Rearranging the terms, we get $ rac{x^2}{xz}+ rac{xy}{xz}+ rac{xy}{yz}+ rac{y^2}{yz}+ rac{xz}{xz}+ rac{z^2}{xz}$

Step 4 :Simplifying each term, we get $ rac{x}{z}+ rac{y}{z}+ rac{x}{y}+ rac{z}{y}+x+z$

Step 5 :Since $xy+xz+yz=0$, we can substitute $y$ and $z$ in terms of $x$ to get $ rac{x}{-x-x}+ rac{-x-x}{x}+ rac{x}{-x}+ rac{-x-x}{-x}+x+(-x-x)$

Step 6 :Simplifying the above expression, we get $-1-2-1-2+1-2$

Step 7 :So, $ rac{x+y}{z}+ rac{x+z}{y}+ rac{y+z}{x} = \boxed{-7}$
