The real numbers x x x , y y y and z z z are a solution ( x , y , z ) (x, y, z) ( x , y , z ) of the equation ( x 2 − 9 ) 2 + ( y 2 − 4 ) 2 + ( z 2 − 1 ) 2 = 0 (x^2 - 9)^2 + (y^2 - 4)^2 + (z^2 - 1)^2 = 0 ( x 2 − 9 ) 2 + ( y 2 − 4 ) 2 + ( z 2 − 1 ) 2 = 0 . How many different possible values are there for x + y + z x + y + z x + y + z ?
