2018/003) For the set of equations z^x=y^{2x}, 2^z= 2.4^x,x+y+z = 16 find integral values of x,y,z

we are given
z^x=y^{2x}\cdots(1)
2^z= 2.4^x\cdots(2)
x+y+z = 16\cdots(3)

z^x=y^{2x} is true when z=y^2 or x = 0
we deal both cases
case 1
z=y^2\cdots(4)
the equation (2) gives
2^z = 2^{2x+1}
or z=2x+1
or 2x = z-1=y^2-1\cdots(5)
from (3), (2), (5) we get
y^2-1 +2y + 2y^2 = 32
or 3y^2 +2y-33=0 or (y-3)(3y+11)=0 so y =3 as y is integer
hence z=9 and x= 4
so solution x=4,y=3,z=9
case 2
x = 0
so from (2) 2^z =2=>z=1
hence y = 15
so solution x=0,y=15,z=1
