let us put the first equation y = 6x -11 into the second equation and we get


-2x-3(6x-11)=-7

Simplifies the above gives


-2x-18x+33=-7
-20x=-40
\textcolor{#FF7968}{\therefore x=2.}

Using this value of x in y = 6x - 11 gives


y=6(2)-11
\textcolor{#FF7968}{\therefore y=1.}

Finally, we put in x = 2 and y = 1 into the last equation and solve for z.


3(2)-5(1)+6z=25
6z=24
\textcolor{#FF7968}{\therefore z=4.}

Hence, our solution is (x, y, z) = (2, 1, 4).
