Ukraine algebra

Problem

Solve the system of equations over real numbers:
Solution
From the first two equations of our system we obtain: , analogously, we can easily get equalities: , . It is easy to see that . If we suppose that , then from the first equality we have that , then applying third equality we conclude: - contradiction. The case when is completely analogous. Hence we obtain . and solving the equation we get the answer .
Final answer
(1, 1, 1)
