Because x,y,z are prime one of x,y,z must be 7 so without loss of generality we assume z = 7
Putting in original equation we have
7(7+x+y) = 7xy
Or xy - x -y -7=0
Or xy-x-y +1 = 8
Or x(y-1) - (y-1)=8
Or (x-1)(y-1)= 8= 1 * 8 = 2 * 4
We assume x \ge y
this gives x-1=8 or x= 9 in which case it is not prime so not proper
Or x-1=4,y=1=2 giving x = 5,y=3 giving x=5,y=3,z=7 or any permutation of the same
