Hello there!

Greetings!

We have,

37/13 = 2+1/(x+1/(y+1/z))
2 + 11/13 = 2 + 1/(x+1/(y+1/z))
===>11/13 = 1/(x+1/(y+1/z))

Taking reciprocal on both sides
13/11 = x+1/(y+1/z)
1 + 2/11 = x + 1/(y+1/z)
===> x=1 and 1/(y+1/z) = 2/11

1/(y+1/z) = 2/11
Taking reciprocal

y+1/z = 11/2
y + 1/z = 5 + 1/2
===> y = 5

1/z = 1/2
z = 2.


Thus,x = 1, y=5, z=2 .

Thankyou
