Answer: x=4 y=-1 z=3

Explanation:

x+y+z=6 (1)

x+y=z (2)

1+z=x (3)

1) Subtract equation (2) from equation (1):

z=6-z

z+z=6-z+z

2z=6

Divide both parts of the equation by 2:

z=3

2) Subtract the value of z=3 into equation (3):

1+3=x

4=x

Thus, x=4

3) Subtract the value of z=3 and x=4 into equation (1):

4+y+3=6

7+y=6

7+y-7=6-7

y=-1
