Answer

${(x, y, z) | x-5y-2z=6}$

Work Step by Step

$x-5y-2z=6$ $-2x+10y+4z=-12$ $1/2*x-5/2*y-z=3$ $1/2*x-5/2*y-z=3$ $2*(1/2*x-5/2*y-z)=3*2$ $x-5y-2z=6$ $-2x+10y+4z=-12$ $(-2x+10y+4z)/-2=-12/-2$ $x-5y-2z=6$ $x-5y-2z=6$ $x-5y-2z=6$ $x-5y-2z=6$ All three lines are the same, so their solution is ${(x, y, z) | x-5y-2z=6}$.
