Answer

$\emptyset$.

Work Step by Step

1. Reduce the first equation (divide by 3) to get $x+2z=-1$ 2. Reduce the third equation (divide by 2) to get $x+2z=-\frac{1}{2}$ 3. Take the difference between the two equations above, we have $0=\frac{1}{2}$, which is not possible. 4. Thus the solution set is $\emptyset$.
