Solve the system using any algebraic method

I tried the problem a couple of times but I still couldn't get the answer right.
This is what I tried:

and that cancelled out the y value and left me with 4x+4z=8. Then I combined

that cancelled out the y value again and left 7x+7z=14 and from there I got stuck. This question is from textbook McDougal Littel Algebra 2

Your procedure is good. You now have two
equations that say x+z=2
These equations are dependent. The system
of equations does not have a unique solution.

2X+Y+2Z=7
2X-Y+2Z=1 A BETTER MOVE HERE IS TO SUBTRACT THE SECOND EQUATION FROM THE FIRST
-------------
2Y=6 OR Y=6/2 OR Y=3 2X+3+2Z=7 OR 2X+2Z=4 & 2X-3+2Z=1 OR 2X+2Z=4 OR X+Z=2
THEN X & Z CAN EQUAL 1 & 1 OR X & Z CAN EQUAL 3 & -1 OR X & Z CAN EQUAL
4 & -2 OR ANY OTHER COMBINATION THAT=2
