You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the ordered triple of these equations. x + y + z = 16
 x - z = 12
 y = -2
 -----
 If y = -2 you have 2 equations with 2 variables.
 x + z = 18
 x - z = 12
 ----
 Add and solve for "x":
 2x = 30
 x = 15
 ----
 Then z must be 18-15 = 3
 =================================
 Triple: (15,-2,3)
