Step 4.2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 6 y}{- 6} = \frac{- 6}{- 6}$

$z = 4$

$x = 2 - y + \frac{z}{2}$

Step 4.2.2.1.2

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{- 6}{- 6}$

$z = 4$

$x = 2 - y + \frac{z}{2}$

$y = \frac{- 6}{- 6}$

$z = 4$

$x = 2 - y + \frac{z}{2}$

$y = \frac{- 6}{- 6}$

$z = 4$

$x = 2 - y + \frac{z}{2}$

Step 4.2.3.1

Divide $- 6$ by $- 6$ .

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

$x = 2 - y + \frac{z}{2}$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

$x = 2 - y + \frac{z}{2}$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

$x = 2 - y + \frac{z}{2}$

Step 4.3

Replace all occurrences of $z$ in $x = 2 - y + \frac{z}{2}$ with $4$ .

$x = 2 - y + \frac{4}{2}$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

Step 4.4.1.1

Divide $4$ by $2$ .

$x = 2 - y + 2$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

Step 4.4.1.2

Add $2$ and $2$ .

$x = - y + 4$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

$x = - y + 4$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

$x = - y + 4$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

$x = - y + 4$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

Step 5.2.1.1

Multiply $- 1$ by $1$ .

$x = - 1 + 4$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

Step 5.2.1.2

Add $- 1$ and $4$ .

$x = 3$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

$x = 3$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

$x = 3$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

$x = 3$

$y = 1$

$z = 4$

Step 6

The solution to the system is the complete set of ordered pairs that are valid solutions.

$(3, 1, 4)$

Step 7

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Point Form:

$(3, 1, 4)$

Equation Form:

$x = 3, y = 1, z = 4$
