The soln. : $x=30, y=-13, z=15$ .

Let us solve the system of eqns. using Elimination Method.

From the First eqn., $z=x+y-2$

Using this $z$ in the second and the third eqns., we get,

$3x+5y-2(x+y-2)=-5", i.e., "x+3y=-9$

$5x+4y-7(x+y-2)=-7", or, "-2x-3y=-21$

Adding these last eqns., $x=30$ .

Then from, $x+3y=-9, y=-13$ .

Finally, $z=x+y-2=15$ .

These roots satisfy the given eqns.

The soln. : $x=30, y=-13, z=15$ .
