1). Equation -5x + 3y + z = - 15
2). Equation 10x + 2y + 8z = 18
3). Equation 15x + 7y + 7z = 0

Elimination of x 1st and 2nd equation
2(-5) + 2(3y) + 2(z) = 2(- 15)
Multiplying both sides by 2 for the first (1st) equation
-10x + 6y + 2z = -30
10x + 2y + 8z = 18
------------------------------
8y + 10z = - 12

Elimination of x 1st and 3rd equation
3(-5x) + 3(3y) + 3(z) = 3 (- 15)
Multiplying 3 on both sides of the equation
-15x + 9y + 3z = - 45
15x + 5y + 7z = 9
-----------------------------
14y + 10z = - 36
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Solving for y. Elimination of z
- 1(14y) + ( -1)(10z) + = -1(-36)
-14y + (-10z ) = 36
8y + 10z = -12
-14y -10z = 36
-6y = 24
-6y/-6/ = 24/- 6
Dividing - 6 from both sides
y = -4
Insert the y value into thy y position

Solving for z
8y + 10z = -12
8(-4) + 10 z = - 12
-32 + 10z = - 12
+32 +32
adding + 32 to both sides
10z = 20
10z/10 = 20/10
dividing 10 from both sides
z = 2

First (1st) equation
-5x + 3y + z = -15
-5x +3(- 4) + 2 = -15
-5x + (-12) + 2 = - 15
-5x -12 + 2 = -15
-5x --10 = - 15
+10 +10
Adding + 10 to both sides
-5x = -5
-5x/-5 = -5/-5
Dividing - 5 from both sides
x = 1

x = 1
y = -4
z = 2
insert the above values into the x, y and z poditions
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1st equation PROOF
-5x + 3y + z = - 15
-5(1) + 3(- 4) + 2 = -15
-5 + (-12) + 2 = - 15
-5 -12 + 2 = -15
-17 + 2 = -15
-15 = - 15

Proof for second (2nd) equation
2nd equation
10x + 2y + 8z = 18
10(1) + 2(-4) + 8(2) = 18
10 + (-8) + 16 = 18
10 - 8 + 16 = 18

-5x + 3y + z = -15
10x + 2y + 8z = 18
15x + 5y + 7z = 9
-5x + 3y + z = -15
10x + 2y + 8z = 18
Multiply the top by 2
-10x + 6y + 2z = -30
10x + 2y + 8z = 18
8y + 10z = -12
4y + 5z = -6
5z = -4y - 6
z = (-4/5)y - (6/5)
15x + 5y + 7z = 9
15x + 5y + 7((-4/5)y - (6/5)) = 9
15x + 5y - (28/5)y - (42/5) = 9
75x + 25y - 28y - 42 = 45
75x - 3y - 42 = 45
75x - 3y = 87
25x - y = 29
25x = y + 29
x = (1/25)y + (29/25)
-5x + 3y + z = -15
-5((1/25)y + (29/25)) + 3y + ((-4/5)y - (6/5)) = -15
(-1/5)y - (29/5) + 3y - (4/5)y - (6/5) = -15
-y - 29 + 15y - 4y - 6 = -75
10y - 35 = -75
10y = -40
y = -4
z = (-4/5)y - (6/5)
z = (-4/5)(-4) - (6/5)
z = (16/5) - (6/5)
z = (16 - 6)/5
z = (10/5)
z = 2
x = (1/25)y + (29/25)
x = (1/25)(-4) + (29/25)
x = (-4/25) + (29/25)
x = (-4 + 29)/25
x = (25/25)
x = 1
x = 1
y = -4
z = 2

Addition and substitution.
-5x + 3y + z = -15
z = 5x - 3y - 15
10x + 2y + 8(5x - 3y - 15) = 18
10x + 2y + 40x - 24y - 120 = 18
50x - 22y = 138
15x + 5y + 7(5x - 3y - 15) = 9
15x + 5y + 35x - 21y - 105 = 9
50x - 16y = 114
-6y = 24
y = -4
50x - 16(-4) = 114
50x + 64 = 114
50x = 50
x = 1
-5(1) + 3(-4) + z = -15
-5 - 12 + z = -15
-17 + z = -15
z = 2
(1, -4, 2) is the solution.

add:
(-5x+3y+z=-15)+
(10x+2y+8z=18)+
(15x+5y+7z=9)=
20x+10y+16z=12.
That's all i can do. Find x, y, and z for yourself. Sorry!

You want to use your system of equations to solve for each variable. Use the first equation to get a value for z in terms of x and y. Then substitute that value in to the other two equations. Now you have two equations with two variables. Pick one and find a value for it in terms of the other one then substitute that in to your third equation. Now you have one equation with one variable. Solve for that variable and then plug that value back in to your two variable equation and solve for the other variable. Now you have values for x and y. Plug those values back in to the first equation and solve for z.
You can also solve this using matrices, but its late and I really need to get to bed.
