Closed form solution is unlikely. Here is one way to find a numerical
solution using FindRoot:
In[1]:= Chop[FindRoot[{
x == x^1.2/(2*x^3 + 4*z^2.5 + y^0.7),
y == y^0.7/(z^2.2 + y^2 + 2*x^0.6),
z == (0.9*z^1.5)/(z^1.1 + x^0.7 + 2*y^0.2)},
{x, 1}, {y, 1.5}, {z, 2}]]
Out[1]= {x->0.207116,y->0.61566,z->0}
Cheers,
Paul
