Since you can find the value of x in the last equation,

x+2y=0

x=-2y

You can substitute this in for a different equation -

x+6y-2z=-2

(-2y)+6y-2z=-2

Then combine like terms -

4y -2z=-2

and since -2z = -4y - 2

You can substitute this one in to the top equation as well as the value for x -

3x -2y +2z = -2

3x - 2y = -2z - 2

3x - 2y + 2 = -2z

3(-2y) - 2y + 2 = (-4y - 2)

Then combine like terms -

-6y - 2y + 2 = -4y - 2

-8y + 2 = -4y - 2

4 = 4y

or

y = 1

With this information, you can find x

x = -2y

x = -2(1)

x = -2


Then you can substitute these values into another equation to find z -

3x -2y +2z = -2

3(-2) - 2(1) + 2z = -2

-6 -2 +2z = -2

-8 +2z = -2

2z=6

z=3

So,


x=-2

y=1

z=3
