Equation 1) 3x + 2y - 5z = 3
Equation 2) 4x - 2y - 3z = -10
Equation 3) 5x - 2y - 2z = -11

Add equation 1 with equation 2.

Equation 4) 7x - 8z = 7

Then subtract equation 3 from equation 2.

Equation 5) -x -z = 1

Multiply all of equation 5 with 7.

5) -7x - 7z = 7
4) 7x - 8z = 7

Add equations together.

z = 14

Plug in 14 for z in equation 4.

7x - 8z = 7

7x - 8(14) = 7

7x - 112 = 7

7x = 119

x = 17

Plug in 17 for x in equation 1, and 14 for z.

1) 3x + 2y - 5z = 3

3(17) + 2y - 5(14) = 3

51 + 2y - 70 = 3

2y - 19 = 3

2y = 22

y = 11

So, x = 17, y = 11, and z = 14

~Hope I helped!~
