Ok, well with systems like this, what you're trying to do is to find ways to eliminate variables by adding or subtracting muiltiples of the equations from each other. For example, I'd start by noting that equation 2 minus 3 times equation 3 will eliminate both the x and the z variables from the equation. That will allow you to solve for y.
