Answer:

x=1; y=2; z=3

Explanation:

Rearrange for convince:

2y-4z+6x = -2

-4y+2z-3x=-5

-6y+3z+4x=1

Now we take to pairs and eliminate the same var.:

2y-4z+6x = -2 *2

-4y+2z-3x=-5

and

-4y+2z-3x=-5 *-3

-6y+3z+4x=1. *2

We get:

4y-8z+12y=-4

-4y+2z-3x=-5

= -6z+9x=-9

and

12y-6x+9x=15

-12y+6x+8x=2

= 17x=17

We now know x = 1, so z is:

-6z+9=-9

-6z=-18

z=3

Let’s grab the first formula and find y:

6+2y-12=-2

6+2y=10

2y=4

y = 2
