We clear each of fractions:
Clearing the first of fractions by multiplying
through by LCD of 6
(x+2) - 2(y+4) + z = 0
and simplifying:
x + 2 - 2y - 4 + z = 0
x - 2y + z - 2 = 0
x - 2y + z = 2
Clearing the second of fractions by multiplying
through by LCD of 4
2(x+1) + 2(y-1) - z = 18,
and simplifying:
2x + 2 + 2y - 2 - z = 18
2x + 2y - z = 18
Clearing the third equation of fractions
by multiplying through by LCD of 4
(x-5) + 4(y+1) + 2(z-2) = 19
and simplifying:
x - 5 + 4y + 4 + 2z - 4 = 19
x + 4y + 2z - 5 = 19
x + 4y + 2z = 24
Now the system is simple enough for you to solve:
Solve that and get (x,y,z) = (
,
,2)
