We will start by making an augmented matrix.

Let's switch some rows so that we can get leading ones.

Multiply row 2 and row 3 by -1.

Notice we have leading ones now.

Multiply row 1 by 3 and add it to row 2

Multiply row 1 by 2 and add it to row 3

Multiply row 3 by -1 and add it to row 2

Divide row 2 by 2, and row 3 by 7.

Multiply row 2 by 2 add it to row 1 ... also add row 2 to row 3.

Multiply row 3 by -3 and add it to row 1.

x = 1, y = -2, z = -1.
Let's check:
3x + -y + 2z = 3(1) +2 -2 = 3
2x + 3y -z = 2(1) +3(-2) -(-1) = 2 -6 +1 = -3
x - 2y + 3z = 1 +4 -3 = 2
So yes, the solution works.
