Answer

Blanks left to right, by row: $1,1,-1,1$ (row 1) $1,0,2,-3$ (row 2) $0,2,-1,3$ (row 3)

Work Step by Step

The numbers are determined by the coefficients of the variables, and any non-existent variables are replaced by 0. Row 1: x is 1, y is 1, z is -1, solution (# after equal sign) is 1. Row 2: x is 1, y is 0 (not there), z is 2, solution (# after equal sign) is -3. Row 3: x is 0 (not there), y is 2, z is -1, solution (# after equal sign) is 3.
