What is the solution to the following system 4x+3y-z=-6

Question
Answer:
Solve equation [2] for the variable  y  
  [2] y = 6x + 3z - 12 // Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [1]
  [1] 4x + 3•(6x+3z-12) - z = -6   [1] 22x + 8z = 30 // Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [3]
  [3] 8x + 2•(6x+3z-12) + 4z = 6   [3] 20x + 10z = 30 // Solve equation [3] for the variable  z  
  [3] 10z = -20x + 30 [3] z = -2x + 3// Plug this in for variable  z  in equation [1]
  [1] 22x + 8•(-2x+3) = 30   [1] 6x = 6 // Solve equation [1] for the variable  x  

  [1] 6x = 6    [1] x = 1 // By now we know this much :  x = 1   y = 6x+3z-12   z = -2x+3// Use the  x  value to solve for  z  
  z = -2(1)+3 = 1 // Use the  x  and  z  values to solve for  y  
  y = 6(1)+3(1)-12 = -3 Solution : {x,y,z} = {1,-3,1}
