Hi,
x+y+2z= 11 and
x+y+3z=14
x+y+2z= 11 and
-x-y-3z=-14 |Subtract 2nd from first to eliminate x & y
-z = -3

x+y+3z=14 and
x+2y-z=5
x+y+9=14 and |Substitute z = 3
x+2y-3=5
x+y = 5 and
x+2y = 8
x+y = 5 and
-x-2y = -8 |Subtract 2nd from first to eliminate x
-y = -3
and x+y+2z= 11 ⇒ x + 3 + 6 = 11
(2, 3, 3) the solution for this system
