#(a+b-x)/c+(a+c-x)/b+(c+b-x)/a+(4x)/(a+b+c)=1#

#=>(a+b-x)/c+1+(a+c-x)/b+1+(c+b-x)/a+1+(4x)/(a+b+c)-3-1=0#
#=>(a+b+c-x)/c+(a+c+b-x)/b+(c+b+a-x)/a-4(1-x/(a+b+c))=0#

#=>(a+b+c-x)(1/c+1/b+1/a)-4((a+b+c-x)/(a+b+c))=0#

#=>(a+b+c-x)(1/c+1/b+1/a-4/(a+b+c))=0#

So

#=>(a+b+c-x)=0#

For #(1/c+1/b+1/a-4/(a+b+c))!=0#

Hence #x=a+b+c#
