Answer:

(-3, 4, 6)

Explanation:

-3x-4y+z=-1 equation 1

2x+y-z=-8 equation 2

x+8y-z=23 equation 2

Add equation 1 and 2

-3x-4y+z=-1

2x+y-z=-8

-----------------------

-x -3y = -9 equation 4

Add equation 1 and 3

-3x-4y+z=-1

x+8y-z=23

--------------------

-2x + 4y = 22 equation 5

multiply equation 4 by -2

2x + 6y = 18

Now add it with equation 5

2x + 6y = 18

-2x + 4y = 22

-----------------------

10y = 40

divide by 10 on both sides

y = 4

Plug in y = 4 in equation 4

-x -3y = -9

-x - 3(4) = -9

-x -12 = -9

add 12 on both sides

-x = 3

x=-3

plug in x=-3 and y =4 in any one of the original equation

-3x-4y+z=-1 equation 1

-3(-3) -4(4) +z= -1

9 -16 +z=-1

-7 + z= -1

add 7 on both sides

z = 6
