Okay, here are the steps to solve this system of linear equations:

3x1 + x2 + 2x3= 6

4x1 - 3x2 + 5x3 = 8,

2x1 + x2 + 3x3 = 10

1) Add 4 times the first equation to the second equation:

7x1 + 2x2 + 7x3 = 22

2) Add -2 times the first equation to the third equation:

5x1 - x2 + 5x3 = 12

3) Divide both sides by 5 to get:

x1 = 2

x2 = -2

x3 = 1

Therefore, the solution to the system is:

x1 = 2

x2 = -2

x3 = 1

Let me know if you have any other questions!
