by now you should know the elimination method, because that is what u need to know to solve this problem, the first 2 equations are perfect, so lets add them together

solve for x
divide by 2

take the second 2 equations and solve for y


_ _ _ _ _ _ _

add the equations together



_ _ _ _ _ _ _




The solution set is [1,-2,10]

add down (-1/1) *row 1 to row 2
1,1,1,9
0,-2,-2,-16
1,-1,1,1


add down (-1/1) *row 1 to row 3
1,1,1,9
0,-2,-2,-16
0,-2,0,-8


divide row 2 by -2/1
1,1,1,9
0,1,1,8
0,-2,0,-8


add down (2/1) *row 2 to row 3
1,1,1,9
0,1,1,8
0,0,2,8


divide row 3 by 2/1
1,1,1,9
0,1,1,8
0,0,1,4


add up (-1/1) *row 3 to row 2
1,1,1,9
0,1,0,4
0,0,1,4


add up (-1/1) *row 3 to row 1
1,1,0,5
0,1,0,4
0,0,1,4


add up (-1/1) *row 2 to row 1
1,0,0,1
0,1,0,4
0,0,1,4

final
1,0,0,1
0,1,0,4
0,0,1,4
x=1 y=4 z=4
(1,4,4)
