Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation
Megoldás. Az eredeti egyenlet így írható:
\(\displaystyle \frac{x+a}{a}+\frac{x+b}{b}+\frac{x+c}{c}=10,\)
\(\displaystyle \frac xa+\frac xb+\frac xc=7.\)
Vagyis: \(\displaystyle x=7:\left(\frac1a+\frac1b+\frac1c\right)=7\cdot\frac{abc}{bc+ac+ab}=7\cdot\frac{-48}{-28}=12\).
