Paul try to solve the value of \(\frac{x+y}{z}\) using a calculator.
He inputs \(x+y \div z\) and the result is \(12\).
For clarification, he inputs \(y+x \div z\) and the result is \(9\).
Lastly, Paul concludes that his input is wrong.
So, he input \((x+y) \div z\) and the result is \( 7\).
In the story, find the value of \(x+y+z\).

Find the positive integer \(\color{blue}{X}\) that makes this equation true:
\[ \Large \frac { 2 }{ \color{blue}{X} } -\frac { \color{blue}{X}}{ 5 } =\frac { 1 }{ 15 }. \]
