What is the solution for the variables?
6x + 3y - 7z = 7
x - 2y + 7z = 10
3x + 2y - 8z = -16
-3x + 2y - 8z = -16 is the third equation, please.

6x + 3y - 7z = 7
x - 2y + 7z = 10
-3x + 2y - 8z = -16
7x + y = 17
8x - 16y + 56z = 80
-21x + 14y - 56z = -112
-13x - 2y = -32
14x + 2y = 34
x = 2, y = 3, and z = 2

6x + 3y - 7z =...7...(1).;
x...-2y +7z = 10...(2).;
3x...+2y -8z = -16...(3).;
[(1)+(2)] --->........7x + y = 17...(4).;
[8(2)+7(3)] --->..29x -2y =-32...(5).;
[2(4)+(5)] --->....43x = 2, ie., x = (2/43). Then (4) ---> y = 17 - 7(2/43) = 17 - (14/43);
= (17*43 -14)/43 = (717/43).;
[(2)+(3)] ---> 4x-z=-6, ie., z = 4x+6 = 4(2/43)+6 =(8/43)+6 = (6*43 +8)/43 = (266/43);
Then [x , y , z] = [(2/43) , (717/43) , (266/43)].

6x + 3y - 7z = 7 and x - 2y + 7z = 10 and 3x + 2y - 8z = -16
Let's start with solving the second equation for x in terms of y and z, then substitute into the other two equations:
x - 2y + 7z = 10
x = 2y - 7z + 10
6x + 3y - 7z = 7 and 3x + 2y - 8z = -16
6(2y - 7z + 10) + 3y - 7z = 7 and 3(2y - 7z + 10) + 2y - 8z = -16
12y - 42z + 60 + 3y - 7z = 7 and 6y - 21z + 30 + 2y - 8z = -16
15y - 49z = -53 and 8y - 29z = -46
Now I'll solve the last equation for y in terms of z and substitute into the other:
8y - 29z = -46
8y = 29z - 46
y = (29z - 46) / 8
15y - 49z = -53
15(29z - 46) / 8 - 49z = -53
I'll start by multiplying both sides by 8:
15(29z - 46) - 392z = -424
435z - 690 - 392z = -424
43z = 266
z = 266/43
Now we have z, we can work back to solve for y, then x:
8y = 29z - 46
8y = 29(266/43) - 46
8y = 7714/43 - 46
8y = 7714/43 - 1978/43
8y = 5736/43
y = 717/43
x = 2y - 7z + 10
x = 2(717/43) - 7(266/43) + 10
x = 1434/43 - 1862/43 + 10
x = -428/43 + 10
x = -428/43 + 430/43
x = 2/43
The solution is:
x = 2/43 and y = 717/43 and z = 266/43

6x + 3y - 7z + x - 2y + 7z = 7 + 10
7x + y + 0z = 17
7x + y = 17
y = 17 - 7x
8 * (x - 2y + 7z) + 7 * (3x + 2y - 8z) = 8 * 10 + 7 * (-16)
8x - 16y + 56z + 21x + 14y - 56z = 80 - 112
29x - 2y = -32
29x - 2 * (17 - 7x) = -32
29x - 34 + 14x = -32
43x = 2
x = 2/43
y = 17 - 7x
y = 17 - 14/43
y = (17 * 43 - 14) / 43
y = (680 + 51 - 14) / 43
y = (680 + 37) / 43
y = 717/43
x - 2y + 7z = 10
2/43 - 1434/43 + 7z = 10
-1432/43 + 7z = 10
7z = 430/43 + 1432/43
7z = 1862/43
7z = (1400 + 420 + 42) / 43
z = (200 + 60 + 6) / 43
z = 266/43
