Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
3x -2y -z = 4
2x -y +2z = 10
x +3y -4z = -7
use substitution, elimination or matrix algebra
multiply 2nd equation by 2, then subtract 1st equation
4x-2y+4z = 20
3x-2y-z = 4
x +5z = 16
multiply 2nd by 3, then add 3rd equation
6x -3y +6z = 30
x + 3y-4z = -7
7x +2z = 23
7x +35z = 112
33z = 89
z =89/33
x= 16-5(89)/33
y = 2(89/33)+32 -10(89/33) -10
or maybe you meant
3x +y +2z = 4
2x -y +2z = 10
x +3y - 4z =-7
then
5x +4z = 14
6x -3y +6z =30
7x +2z = 23
14x +4z = 46
9x = 32
x = 32/9
z =23/2 -7(16)/9 = 207/18 -224/18 = -17/18
y = 2z+2x-10 = -17/9 +64/9-10= 47/9-90/9 =-43/9
(x,y,z) = (32/9,-43/9, -17/18)
