Answer

$(2,1,1)$

Work Step by Step

$2x-2y+4z = 6$ Equation $(1)$ $-4x-y+z = -8$ Equation $(2)$ $3x-y+z=6$ Equation $(3)$ Subtracting Equation $(3)$ from Equation $(2)$ $(-4x-y+z)-(3x-y+z) = -8 -6 $ $-4x-y+z-3x+y-z = -14$ $-7x = -14$ $x= 2$ Multiply Equation $(2)$ by $-2$ and add with Equation $(1)$ $-2(-4x-y+z) + 2x-2y+4z = -2(-8)+6$ $8x+2y-2z+2x-2y+4z = 16+6$ $10x+2z = 22$ Equation $(4)$ Substitute $x$ value in Equation $(4)$ $10x+2z = 22$ $10(2)+2z = 22$ $20+2z = 22$ $2z = 22-20$ $2z = 2$ $z= 1$ Substitute $x$ and $z$ values in Equation $(3)$ $3x-y+z=6$ $3(2)-y+(1)=6$ $6-y+1=6$ $7-y=6$ $7-6=y$ $y=1$ Solution: $(2,1,1)$
