Given that
2x - y =2  (1)
3z = 21 (2)
4x + z =19 (3)
First solve the second equation, since it has only one variable.
3z =21
Divide by 3
z = 21/3
z =7
Now put the value of z in equation (3), we get
4x + 7 = 19
4x = 19 -7
4x =12
x =12/4
x = 3
Now put the value of x in equation(1), we get
2(3)- y =2
6 – y = 2
6 – 2 = y
4 = y
Therefore the value of “x” =3, y =4 and z =7
