Answer

$\{(4,0,-2)\}$

Work Step by Step

The given first equation can be re-written as: $x=2-z~~~(1) $ Now, $-x+2y=-4 \implies 2y+z=-2 ~~~~(2)$ and $2y-z+2y+z=2-2 \implies y=0$ Plug $y=0$ in equation $2y-z=2$ to obtain: $z=-2$ Back substitution for $z=-2$ and $y=0$ to solve for $x$: $x-2=2 \implies x=4$ Solution set: $\{(4,0,-2)\}$
