3x+y+z=1
6x+3y-2z=23
-x-5y-4z=-9


Eliminate x from the 2nd equation by 
multiplying the 1st equation by -2 and
then adding it to the 2nd equation: 





Eliminate x from the 3rd equation by 
multiplying the 3rd equation by 3 and
then adding the 1st equation to it:





Eliminate y from the 3rd equation by 
multiplying the 2nd equation by 14 and
then adding it to the 3rd equation:





Solve the 3rd equation for z

-67z%22%22=%22%22268
z%22%22=%22%22-4

Substitute z=-4 into the 2nd equation

y-4z%22%22=%22%2221
y-4%28-4%29%22%22=%22%2221
y%2B16%22%22=%22%2221
y%22%22=%22%225

Substitute y=5 and z=-4 in the 1st equation

3x%2By%2Bz%22%22=%22%221
3x%2B%285%29%2B%28-4%29%22%22=%22%221
3x%2B1%22%22=%22%221
3x%22%22=%22%220
x%22%22=%22%220

Solution:  (x,y,z) = (0,5,-4)
