If $x, y, z$ are positive with $xy = 24, xz = 48, yz = 72$, then $x + y + z$ is
若 $x, y, z$ 为正数,且 $xy = 24$,$xz = 48$,$yz = 72$,则 $x + y + z$ 是
(A) 18 18
(B) 19 19
(C) 20 20
(D) 22 22
(E) 24 24
Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
(D) Since $x=\dfrac{24}{y}=48z$ we have $z=2y$. So $72=2y^2$, which implies that $y=6$, $x=4$, and $z=12$. Hence $x+y+z=22$.
(D)因为 $x=\dfrac{24}{y}=48z$ 所以有 $z=2y$。因此 $72=2y^2$,这意味着 $y=6$,$x=4$,且 $z=12$。因此 $x+y+z=22$。
