Find the value of $S$ if $S = xover y + yover z + zover x = yover x + zover y + xover z$ and $x + y + z = 0$ [on hold]

Find the value of $S$ if $$S = xover y + yover z + zover x = yover x + zover y + xover z$$ and $x + y + z = 0$.

This is a difficult question in my opinion and I was wondering if I could get some help on it. I tried to multiply by $xyz$ but that didn't help. Any help would be appreciated.

Note that the sum of any two is the negative of third.

Now if we add two times S then we have $$2S = xover y + yover z + zover x + yover x + zover y + xover z$$
$$ =x+yover z +y+zover x +x+zover y = $$
$$ = -zover z+-xover x +-yover y = -3$$

So $$ S = -3over 2$$

$$0=sum_cycleft(fracxy-fracyxright)=fracsumlimits_cyc(x^2z-x^2y)xyz=frac(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)xyz.$$
Since our conditions does not depend on any cyclic permutation of the variables,

we can assume that $x=y$.

Thus, $z=-2y$ and
$$S=1-frac12-2=-frac32.$$
