Answer

The provided statement is True.

Work Step by Step

Take an arbitrary value $ z=1$; now substitute this value of z in the given solution set to find out the value of x, and y. Since, $\begin{align} & x=2z+3 \\ & y=5z-1 \\ \end{align}$ Substitute value $ z=1$ in $ y=5z-1$ to get, $\begin{align} & y=5\times 1-1 \\ & =5-1 \\ & =4 \end{align}$ Substitute value $ z=1$ in $ x=2z+3$ to get, $\begin{align} & x=2\times 1+3 \\ & =2+3 \\ & =5 \end{align}$ So, the values of $ x,y,z $ is: $\begin{align} & x=5 \\ & y=4 \\ & z=1 \\ \end{align}$ Hence, these values are $\left( 5,\ 4,\ 1 \right)$, which is equal to the solution mentioned in the statement.
