Solution:We rewrite the system:
The two last equations obtained a linear
system of two variables which we know to find its solutions.
,Its solution is: (-31/21,-134/63)
Substitute to find z=3x+3=3(-31/21)+3=-30/21
Answer:The solution is the ordered triple (-31/21, -134/63, -30/21).
Done.

2x+3y+1z=4--------------1
3x-z== -3--------------2
x-2y+2z=-5--------------3
consider equation 1 &2
2 x + 3 y + 1 z = 4
3 x + 0 y + -1 z = -3
Add the two
5x+3y= 1------------- 4
consider equation 2 & 3 Eliminate z
Multiply 2 by 2
we get
6x-2z=-6
x-2y+2z=-5
Add the two
7x-2y=-11-------------5 5
Consider (4) & (5)
Multiply 4 by 2
Multiply (5) by 3

Add the two
31x=-31 / 31
x= -1
Plug value of x in (2)
3x-1z=-3
-3-1z=-3
-1z=0
z=0
plug value of x & z in (1)
-2+3y=4
3y=6
y=2
