    Multiplying the first equation by - 1 and adding it to the third, we get 2y-8z=15 and by multiplying the first equation by - 1 and adding it to the second equation, we get - 3y-4z=3

    Using the two equations, we have

    2y-8z=15

    -3y-4z=3

    Multiplying the second equation by - 2 and adding it to the third, we have 8y=9 and y = 9/8 by dividing both sides by 8. Plugging it back into

    -3y-4z=3, we have - 27/8-4z=3 and by adding 27/8 to both sides, we have - 4z=51/8 and by dividing both sides by - 4 we get z=-51/32.

    Plugging it into 2x - y + z = 2, we get 2x-9/8+5 (-51/32) = 2, we get x=151/64 by adding - (5 (-51/32)) to both sides as well as adding 9/8 to both.
