x + 2y - z = 5
2x - y + z = 2
y + z = 2
-----------------------
x + 2y - z = 5
2x - y + z = 2
---------------- Add
3x + y = 7 Eqn A
================
x + 2y - z = 5
y + z = 2
------------------ Add
x + 3y = 7 Eqn B
9x + 3y = 21 Eqn A times 3
------------------------------ Subtract
-8x = -14
x = 7/4
-------
x + 3y = 7 Eqn B
3y = 21/4
y = 7/4
------------
y + z = 2
z = 1/4

x = 7/4
y = 7/4 too
then z= 1/4
just use the elimination method.
