if 64^x=48^y=36^z ; then what is the possible relation between x,y,z
how to solve this in 2 min and whats the best possible way out .
Thanks

What are the 5 answer choices (that accompany all GMAT questions)?
Cheers,

Thank you for the choice one ; sorry i don't actually remember the choices ;
but all the answer choices had a linear relation between X, y, z .
i could write the question in a smiple form :
THE QUESTION CAN BE WRITTEN AS BELOW
64^x=48^y=36^z
(2*2*2*2*2)raise to power X = (2*2*2*2*3)RAISE TO POWER Y = (2*2*3*3) raise to power z
All the answer choices had some algebraic relations between x, y,z ; if you can just help me about how to derive one it would be helpfull.
thank you

Hi jai123oct,
Did this question come from a GMAT 'source' or a general math 'source?' The 5 answers are important to have because they can sometimes provide pivotal information that can help you to answer the question quickly or avoid some possible math steps if you were to attempt a longer 'technical' approach to solving it. If you're studying for the GMAT, then you really should focus on GMAT-centric practice materials.
