Given a,b,c>0, find all real solutions to the equation:
\sqrt{a+bx} + \sqrt{b+cx} + \sqrt {c+ax} = \sqrt{b-ax} + \sqrt{c-bx} + \sqrt{a-cx}

seems a familiar question.
if x is positive LHS>RHS
if x is negative LHS<RHS
but if x=0 we get a solution which is the only one.

obviously LHS and RHS curve(very rough sketch..) can meet at only one point...
so only one solution x=0
(LHS and RHS curve are not mirror images of each other about y axis...)
the curve of LHS is formed... by adding... each root term's curve in LHS.. similarly RHS...
So i think no need of a more rigorous treatment...
