None.
Since there are 3 unknown variables, the answers won't be specific numbers. Let's try the first one
z-2y + 3z=5 Solve for z. Isolate your variable!
x=5 y=3 z=2
How did you get that? Please help explain..
You need to multiply/add/subtract these equations into a form that's useful. The Gauss or Gauss-Jordan method are easiest.
You manipulate them so that only one variable is left on each equation so that it's easy to solve.
First step for me would be to add together equations 1 and 3 and that would eliminate the x from the new equation.
Do you know matrices? B/c it would be easiest to just set these up as a matrix and RREF
Cramer's rule is also easy if you know matrices...
But Cramer's rule is more difficult to explain...
So if you add equations 1 and 3, that eliminates the x, then replace equation 3 with the new equation. Next, you could multiply the new equation times 5 and add to equation 2, that would eliminate the y and you should be left with one equation with one variable.
If you don't then you need to do row operations and eliminate the variables
