Explanation & Answer

subtract the first equation from the second one, then divide the second equation by -2; subtract the first equation multiplied by 2 from the third one:

x + 2y  -   z   = -10

        y   -  z   =  -5

    -5y  +   z    =  5

add the second equation multiplied by 5 to the third equation:

x + 2y  -   z   =  - 10

        y   -  z   =    -5

             - 4z  =  - 20

Then from the last equation z = -20/-4 = 5, from the second equation y = z -5 = 0, from the first equation 

x = -2y + z - 10 = 0 + 5 - 10 = - 5

Answer: (-5, 0, 5).
