THE GIVEN SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS ARE:

X + Y = 5 ------------> (1)
X + 2Z = 6 ------------> (2)
Y + 3Z = 4 ------------> (3)

ADDING (1) AND (3), WE GET:

X + 2Y + 3Z = 9 ---------->(4)

ADDING (2) AND (3), WE GET:

X + Y + 5Z = 10 ---------->(5)


SUBTRACTING (4) AND (5), WE GET:

Y - 2Z = -1 ----------->(6)

SUBTRACTING (6) FROM (3), WE GET:

-5Z = - 5


THIS IMPLIES Z = 1

SUBSTITUTE THE VALUE OF Z IN (6), WE GET:

Y - 2(1) = -1

Y = -1 + 2
Y = 1

NOW, SUBSTITUTE THE VALUE OF Y IN (1), WE GET:

X + 1 = 5

X = 5 - 1
X = 4

HENCE, THE VALUES OF X, Y AND Z ARE:

X = 4, Y = 1 AND Z = 1

HENCE THE SOLUTION.

HAPPY CALCULATING........!!!!!!!!
