Solve the following system:
{x + 3 y + 2 z = 1 | (equation 1)
-3 x + y + 5 z = 10 | (equation 2)
-2 x - 3 y + z = 7 | (equation 3)

 

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{-(3 x) + y + 5 z = 10 | (equation 1)
x + 3 y + 2 z = 1 | (equation 2)
-(2 x) - 3 y + z = 7 | (equation 3)

 

Add 1/3 × (equation 1) to equation 2:
{-(3 x) + y + 5 z = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x+(10 y)/3 + (11 z)/3 = 13/3 | (equation 2)
-(2 x) - 3 y + z = 7 | (equation 3)

 

Multiply equation 2 by 3:
{-(3 x) + y + 5 z = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x+10 y + 11 z = 13 | (equation 2)
-(2 x) - 3 y + z = 7 | (equation 3)

 

Subtract 2/3 × (equation 1) from equation 3:
{-(3 x) + y + 5 z = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x+10 y + 11 z = 13 | (equation 2)
0 x - (11 y)/3 - (7 z)/3 = 1/3 | (equation 3)

 

Multiply equation 3 by 3:
{-(3 x) + y + 5 z = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x+10 y + 11 z = 13 | (equation 2)
0 x - 11 y - 7 z = 1 | (equation 3)

 

Swap equation 2 with equation 3:
{-(3 x) + y + 5 z = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x - 11 y - 7 z = 1 | (equation 2)
0 x+10 y + 11 z = 13 | (equation 3)

 

Add 10/11 × (equation 2) to equation 3:
{-(3 x) + y + 5 z = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x - 11 y - 7 z = 1 | (equation 2)
0 x+0 y+(51 z)/11 = 153/11 | (equation 3)

 

Multiply equation 3 by 11/51:
{-(3 x) + y + 5 z = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x - 11 y - 7 z = 1 | (equation 2)
0 x+0 y+z = 3 | (equation 3)

 

Add 7 × (equation 3) to equation 2:
{-(3 x) + y + 5 z = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x - 11 y+0 z = 22 | (equation 2)
0 x+0 y+z = 3 | (equation 3)

 

Divide equation 2 by -11:
{-(3 x) + y + 5 z = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x+y+0 z = -2 | (equation 2)
0 x+0 y+z = 3 | (equation 3)

 

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:
{-(3 x) + 0 y+5 z = 12 | (equation 1)
0 x+y+0 z = -2 | (equation 2)
0 x+0 y+z = 3 | (equation 3)

 

Subtract 5 × (equation 3) from equation 1:
{-(3 x)+0 y+0 z = -3 | (equation 1)
0 x+y+0 z = -2 | (equation 2)
0 x+0 y+z = 3 | (equation 3)

 

Divide equation 1 by -3:
{x+0 y+0 z = 1 | (equation 1)
0 x+y+0 z = -2 | (equation 2)
0 x+0 y+z = 3 | (equation 3)

 

x = 1         y = -2         z = 3
