The solution to the system of equations is x=2,y=3,z=1.

Let's solve the system of linear equations:

−x+4y−5z=5

y=−x+5

−3x+5z=−1

We can substitute the expression for y from equation (2) into equations (1) and (3) to eliminate y.

Substitute y=−x+5 into equation (1):

−x+4(−x+5)−5z=5

Simplify:

−x−4x+20−5z=5

Combine like terms:

−5x−5z+20=5

Subtract 20 from both sides:

−5x−5z=−15

Divide both sides by -5:

x+z=3

Now, substitute y=−x+5 into equation (3):

−3x+5z=−1

Replace y with −x+5:

−3x+5z=−1

Now we have two equations:

x+z=3

−3x+5z=−1

Let's solve this system. We can use the first equation to express x in terms of z:

From equation (1):

x=3−z

Now substitute this into equation (2):

−3(3−z)+5z=−1

Distribute the -3:

−9+3z+5z=−1

Combine like terms:

8z=8

Divide both sides by 8:

z=1

Now substitute z=1 back into

x=3−z:

x=3−1=2

Now substitute z=1 into y=−x+5:

y=−2+5=3

So, the solution to the system of equations is x=2,y=3,z=1.
