Solution. Let a=3x,b=2y,z=c We then obtain
a+b+c=3x+2y+z,a2+3b2+15c2=abc.
According to the weighted AM-GM inequality, we have that
a+b+c≥(2a)1/2(3b)1/3(6c)1/6a2+3b2+15c2≥(4a2)1/4(9b2)3/9(36c2)15/36=(4a2)1/4(9b2)1/3(36c2)5/12
Multiplying the results above, we obtain
(a+b+c)(a2+3b2+15c2)≥36abc⇒a+b+c≥36
So the minimum of 3x+2y+z is 36, attained for x=y=z=6.
