Answer

There are no real solutions to this system of equations.

Work Step by Step

Use the expressions given for $x$ and $y$ to substitute into the first equation: $(-3z + 6) + 2(z + 1) + z = 14$ Distribute first: $-3z + 6 + 2z + 2 + z = 14$ Group like terms: $(-3z + 2z + z) + (6 + 2) = 14$ Combine like terms: $0 + 8 = 14$ Simplify: $8 = 14$ This statement is false; therefore, there are no real solutions to this system of equations.
