There are lot of ways to solve equations with 3 unknown variable. You can do matrices or substitution. For the sake of easiness, I will demonstrate how to solve the 3 equations using substitution.
Equations:



Isolate the y in the first variable.

Plug the y in the second equation.

Simplify.

Isolate z.

Plug the z in the y.

Simplify.

Plug the NEW y and z value in the last equation.

Simplify and solve for x.

Plug x=1 to the new y.


Plug the y and x value to any of the equations. you should get
