Solve the following system:
{y + 2 x = 14 | (equation 1)
z + 2 L = 20 | (equation 2)
x + y + z = 14 | (equation 3)
L + x + z = 18 | (equation 4)
Subtract 1/2 × (equation 1) from equation 3:
{2 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 1)
0 x + 0 y + z + 2 L = 20 | (equation 2)
0 x + y/2 + z + 0 L = 7 | (equation 3)
x + 0 y + z + L = 18 | (equation 4)
Multiply equation 3 by 2:
{2 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 1)
0 x + 0 y + z + 2 L = 20 | (equation 2)
0 x + y + 2 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 3)
x + 0 y + z + L = 18 | (equation 4)
Subtract 1/2 × (equation 1) from equation 4:
{2 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 1)
0 x + 0 y + z + 2 L = 20 | (equation 2)
0 x + y + 2 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 3)
0 x - y/2 + z + L = 11 | (equation 4)
Multiply equation 4 by 2:
{2 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 1)
0 x + 0 y + z + 2 L = 20 | (equation 2)
0 x + y + 2 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 3)
0 x - y + 2 z + 2 L = 22 | (equation 4)
Swap equation 2 with equation 3:
{2 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 1)
0 x + y + 2 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 2)
0 x + 0 y + z + 2 L = 20 | (equation 3)
0 x - y + 2 z + 2 L = 22 | (equation 4)
Add equation 2 to equation 4:
{2 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 1)
0 x + y + 2 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 2)
0 x + 0 y + z + 2 L = 20 | (equation 3)
0 x + 0 y + 4 z + 2 L = 36 | (equation 4)
Divide equation 4 by 2:
{2 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 1)
0 x + y + 2 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 2)
0 x + 0 y + z + 2 L = 20 | (equation 3)

0 x + y + 2 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 2)
0 x + 0 y + 2 z + L = 18 | (equation 3)
0 x + 0 y + z + 2 L = 20 | (equation 4)
Subtract 1/2 × (equation 3) from equation 4:
{2 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 1)
0 x + y + 2 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 2)
0 x + 0 y + 2 z + L = 18 | (equation 3)
0 x + 0 y + 0 z + (3 L)/2 = 11 | (equation 4)
Multiply equation 4 by 2:
{2 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 1)
0 x + y + 2 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 2)
0 x + 0 y + 2 z + L = 18 | (equation 3)
0 x + 0 y + 0 z + 3 L = 22 | (equation 4)
Divide equation 4 by 3:
{2 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 1)
0 x + y + 2 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 2)
0 x + 0 y + 2 z + L = 18 | (equation 3)
0 x + 0 y + 0 z + L = 22/3 | (equation 4)
Subtract equation 4 from equation 3:

0 x + y + 2 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 2)
0 x + 0 y + 2 z + 0 L = 32/3 | (equation 3)
0 x + 0 y + 0 z + L = 22/3 | (equation 4)
Divide equation 3 by 2:
{2 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 1)
0 x + y + 2 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 2)
0 x + 0 y + z + 0 L = 16/3 | (equation 3)
0 x + 0 y + 0 z + L = 22/3 | (equation 4)
Subtract 2 × (equation 3) from equation 2:
{2 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 14 | (equation 1)
0 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 10/3 | (equation 2)
0 x + 0 y + z + 0 L = 16/3 | (equation 3)
0 x + 0 y + 0 z + L = 22/3 | (equation 4)
Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:
{2 x + 0 y + 0 z + 0 L = 32/3 | (equation 1)
0 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 10/3 | (equation 2)
0 x + 0 y + z + 0 L = 16/3 | (equation 3)
0 x + 0 y + 0 z + L = 22/3 | (equation 4)
Divide equation 1 by 2:
{x + 0 y + 0 z + 0 L = 16/3 | (equation 1)
0 x + y + 0 z + 0 L = 10/3 | (equation 2)
0 x + 0 y + z + 0 L = 16/3 | (equation 3)

Collect results:
x = 16/3
y = 10/3
z = 16/3
L = 22/3 x + z ==16/3 + 16/3==32/3
