5x - 2y + 3z = -9 4x + 3y + 5z = 4 2x + 4y - 2z = 14 There are many different methods for solving this, depending on what you are studying at the present time. Please post again or email me telling whether you are studying eliminating and substitution, echelon method, Gaussian elimination, using matrices, Cramer's rule using determinants, or the inverse matrix method. The solution in any case is (x,y,z) = (0,3,-1) Edwin
