Answer:

x = 9, y = 13 , z = - 19

Explanation:

3y + 4z = - 37 → (1)

2x + 4y - 3z = 127 → (2)

4y = 52 → (3)

divide both sides by 4 in (3)

y = 13

substitute y = 13 into (2) and solve for z

3(13) + 4z = - 37

39 + 4z = - 37 ( subtract 39 from both sides )

4z = - - 76 ( divide both sides by 4 )

z = - 19

substitute y = 13 and z = - 19 into (2) and solve for x

2x + 4(13) - 3(- 19) = 127

2x + 52 + 57 = 127

2x + 109 = 127 ( subtract 109 from both sides )

2x = 18 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 9

solution is x = 9, y = 13 , z = - 19
