You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Looking at the 3 equations, the coeeficients of z match the RighHand side values, so the solution, x=y=0 and z=1 satisfies your equations...without doing any calculations.

To "prove" this solution, you can do substitution/elimination etc or use Cramer's Rule...determinants of certain matrices.

Using Cramer's rule, gives x=y=0 and z=1.
