Answer:

4 +30/w . . . . for any w≠0

Explanation:

The given constraints resolve to 2 equations in 4 unknowns. There are an infinite number of solutions.

The ratio requirement means ...

(x -y +z)/2 = (y -z +2w)/3 = (2x +z -10)/5

Considering the first equality, we can multiply by 6 and subtract the right side.

3(x -y +z) -2(y -z +2w) = 0 ⇒ 3x -5y +5z -4w = 0

Considering the first and last expressions, we can multiply by 10 and subtract the right side.

5(x -y +z) -2(2x +z -10) = 0 ⇒ x -5y +3z = -20

These two equations have solutions ...

x = 10 -z +2w

y = 6 + 0.4z +0.4w

Using these expressions in the ratio of interest, we have ...

(3x +3z -2w) : w = (3(10 -z +2w) +3z -2w) : w = (30 -3z +6w +3z -2w) : w

= (30 +4w) : w

Expressed as a mixed number, the ratio of interest is ...

(30 +4w)/w = 4 +30/w . . . . an infinite number of solutions

__

For positive values of w that are divisors of 30, there are 8 possible values:

(w, ratio) = (1, 34), (2, 19), (3, 14), (5, 10), (6, 9), (10, 7), (15, 6), (30, 5)

_____

Check

It might be interesting to substitute the expressions for x and y into our original equation(s).

(x -y +z)/2 = ((10 -z +2w) -(6 +0.4z +0.4w) +z)/2 = (2 -0.2z +0.8w)

(y -z +2w)/3 = ((6 +0.4z +0.4w) -z +2w)/3 = (2 -0.2z +0.8w)

(2x +z -10)/5 = (2(10 -z +2w) +z -10)/5 = (2 -0.2z +0.8w)

All of these expressions are identical, as they should be.
