3x-2y-1=2x-5y-10=4x-3y

This is a three-way linear equality. You can turn it into a
system of two equations in two unknowns in 3 ways.

Take your pick of any one of these 3 systems of equations:

system%283x-2y-1=2x-5y-10%2C%0D%0A3x-2y-1=4x-3y%29 or system%283x-2y-1=4x-3y%2C2x-5y-10=4x-3y%29 or system%283x-2y-1=2x-5y-10%2C2x-5y-10=4x-3y%29

They simplify to

system%28x%2B3y=-9%2C%0D%0A-x%2By=1%29 or system%28-x%2By=1%2C-2x-2y=10%29 or system%28x%2B3y=-9%2C-2x-2y=10%29

Take your pick of which one to solve.  You'll get the same answers for
x and y no matter which one you pick to solve.  It would be instructive
for you to solve all three to see that you get the same answers.
