You can add and subtract equations to cancel out variables. look at the 2nd and 3rd equations. If you multiply the 2nd equation by -2 ( do it to every term ) then add it to the 3rd equation you will cancel out x and y terms. When you add, just put one equation above the other with the like variables in the same order, then simply add

once you get z, I would solve the second equation for either x and y and substitute that into equation 1 and solve for the missing variable. then you just have one unknown and you can choose any equation to solve for it

so it'd be C then ?
