I need this one with steps please
x+y+z=15000
10x+6y+4z=82000
10(1/2x)+6y+4z(1/2z)=47000
5x+6y+2z=47000

I assume that the third equation simplifies to the fourth equation.
Multiply the first equation by -6: -6x-6y-6z = -90,000
Add this equation to the second equation:
10x + 6y + 4z = 82,000
-6x - 6y - 6z = -90,000
4x - 2z = -8000 (Equation 5)
Subtract the fourth equation from the second equation:
10x + 6y + 4z = 82,000
-5x - 6y - 2z = -47,000
5x + 2z = 35,000 (Equation 6)
Now add equations five and six:
4x - 2z = -8000
5x +2z = 35,000
9x = 27,000
x = 3000
Substitute the value for x into equation 6:
5(3000) + 2z = 35,000
15,000 + 2z = 35,000
2z = 20,000
z = 10,000
Last, substitute x and z into equation 1:
3000 + y + 10,000 = 15,000
y + 13,000 = 15,000
y = 2000
(3000, 2000, 10,000)
