1.2x-y%2B4z=33
2.5x%2B3y-2z=-62
3.3x-4y%2Bz=42
Multiply eq. 2 by 2 and add to eq. 1,
2x-y%2B4z%2B10x%2B6y-4z=33-124
4.12x%2B5y=-91
Multiply eq. 3 by 2 and add to eq. 2,
5x%2B3y-2z%2B6x-8y%2B2z=-62%2B84
5.11x-5y=22
Add eq. 4 and eq 5,
12x%2B5y%2B11x-5y=-91%2B22
23x=-69
highlight%28+x=-3%29
.
.
.
Then from eq. 4,
-36%2B5y=-91
5y=-55
highlight%28+y=-11%29
.
.
.
Then from eq. 1,
2%28-3%29-%28-11%29%2B4z=33
-6%2B11%2B4z=33
4z=28
highlight%28+z=7%29
