Explanation:

12x+6y+72=-35

12x+6y=-35-72

12x+6y=-107 equation i

X+y=-10 equation ii

multiply by 6 on equation ii and subtract from equation i

12x+6y=-107

-6x-6y=60

6x=47

X=7.83333333

put the value of X on equation i

12×7.83333333+6y=-107

6y=-107-94

y=33.5

now

put the value of X and y on equation iii

7×7.83333333-5×33.5+6z=200

54.8333331-167.5+6z=200

-112.666667+6z=200

6z=200+112.666667

z=52.1111112
