: Decide whether the values of the variables listed are solutions of the system of equations.
3x + 3y + 2z = 4
x - y - z = 0
2y - 3z = -8
x= 1, y= -1, z= 2

All you need to do is plug all given values into the approperate variable and then see if all 3 equations do equal what they should.

3x + 3y + 2z = 4
x - y - z = 0
2y - 3z = -8

x= 1, y= -1, z= 2

3(1)+3(-1)+2(2) =4
3 -3 +4 = 4
4 = 4

1 +1 - 2 = 0
2 - 2 =0
0 = 0

2(-1) - 3(2) = -8
-2 -6 = -8
-8 = -8

since all three check out then x= 1, y= -1, z= 2 is a solution to the system of equations.
