Answer

$(-1, 2, -3)$

Work Step by Step

1. Multiply the 1st equation by 3 and add to the 2nd to get $5x+5y=5$ or $x+y=1$ 2. Take the difference of the 2nd and 3rd equations to get $x-y=-3$ 3. Add the above two equations to get $2x=-2$, thus $x=-1$ 4. Thus we have $y=1-x=2, z=x+2y-6=-3$ and the solution $(-1, 2, -3)$
