SOLUTION: -5x - 4y + 12z = -140
9x - 8y + z = -649
3x - 2y + 6z = -290

I need to solve this using any method. Id like to see the steps and the correct answer. I think mabye i should start by multiplying the 3rd equation by 3 and then subtract it from the 2nd equation? I'm trying to make sence of this but i just cant figure it out. I really appericiate your time, thank you. Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):

How about instead we get rid of y first.
The z coefficients (-4,-8,-2) might be eaiser to start with.
Multiply eq. 1 by -2 and eq. 3 by -4 and add to eq. 2,

Multiply eq. 5 by (-1) and add to eq. 4 to get rid of z.
From eq. 4,

Finally, from eq. 1,
