~ Interchanging rows 1 and 2, and multiplying the new row 1 by -1.
~, multiply row1 by -2, and multiply row1 -3.
~, add row2 to row3.
~, multiply row2 and row3 by -1.
Thus z = 4, y - 3z = -11, x+y-z = -1.
y - 3*(4) = -11, y = -11+12 = 1,
x+y-z = -1. x+1-4 = -1, x-3=-1, x = 2.
Therefore x = 2, y = 1, and z = 4.
