So

xyz

x+y+z=12

3x-2y=5

6z+4y=50

so multiply 3x-2y=5 by 2

6x-4y=10

add to 6z+4y=50 and get

6x+6z+4y-4y=10+50

6x+6z=60

distribute

6 (x+z) = 6 (10)

divide both sides by 6

x+z=10

subsitute 10 for x+z in the first equation

10+y=12

y=2

subsitute

3x-2 (2) = 5

3x-4=5

3x=9

x=3

x+z=10

3+z=10

z=7

x=3

y=2

z=7
