Change in enthalpy

change in enthalpy for the reaction 4xy³ + 7z² —> 6y²z + 4xz²? Given the thermal equations x²+3y² —> 2xy³, ΔH equals -310, x² + 2z² —> 2xz², ΔH-180, 2y² plus z² chemical reaction 2y²z, ΔH- 240.

In Step 2 when adding the adjusted equations, I don't see how you get the target equation. The left side doesn't contain 4xy³ but the right side does. Also, the left side contains 12y² and don't see that in the target equation. This is clearly a problem for Hess' Law, but does't seem that the equations were manipulated correctly. If I have time, I will attempt a solution. Thank you.
