x+y-2z=5
x+2y+z=8
2x+3y-z=1
-----------------
subtract the 1st Eq. from the 2nd
Subtract twice the 1st Eq. from the 3rd
----------------------------------------
x+y-2z=5
0+y+3z=3
0+y+3z=-10
---------------------
Subtract the 2nd Eq. from the 3rd:
--------------------------------------
x+y-2z=5
0+y+3z=3
0+0+0 =7
---------------
The last equation shows a contradiction.
There is no solution for the system.
