Math problem

Math problem :

x1 = 33
x2 = 66
x3 = 2
x4 = 17
x5 = 25
-----------------
x1+x2+x3+x4+x5=x6=143
33+66+2+17+25=143
-----------------
x1*x2*x3*x4*x5=x7=1851300
33*66*2*17*25=1851300
-----------------
x1/x2/x3/x4/x5=x8=5.8823529411764705882352941176471e-4
33/66/2/17/25=5.8823529411764705882352941176471e-4
-----------------

How to know x1, x2, x3 ,x4 ,x5 if we know x6, x7, x8 ?

Thank You.

I could be wrong, but if you have 5 missing variables, do you not need 5 working solutions to get each value.

Yes. I have to get x1,x2,x3,x4,x5 from x6,x7,x8 results.

Thank You.

Or to use some other results to get x1, x2, x3, x4, x5.

Thank You.
I think you misunderstand me.
What I meant to say is, if my old maths is correct, is that you cannot get values for x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 if you only have 3 solutions x6, x7, x8.
You need at least 2 more calculations to make x9 and x10 before you can get x1, x2, x3, x4, x5

Please mikelittlewood, if You can make more calculations x9 and x10, because I don't know how to perform correctly results x6, x7 and x8 to get x1, x2, x3, x4 and x5 values.

Thank You.
