SOLUTION:

[tex] \begin{array}{l} 2^x = 3^y = 12^z \\ 2^x = 3^y = 2^{2z} \cdot 3^z \\ \Rightarrow 3 = 2^{\frac{x}{y}} \\ \Rightarrow 2^x = 2^{2z} \cdot 2^{\frac{xz}{y}} \\ \Rightarrow x = 2z + \frac{xz}{y} \\ \Rightarrow xy = 2zy + xz \\ \Rightarrow 2zy = xy - xz \\ \text{Dividing both sides by }xyz,\text{ we get:} \\ \dfrac{2}{x} = \dfrac{1}{z} - \dfrac{1}{y} \end{array} [/tex]
