Answer:

  y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting the second equation from the third gives ...

  (2z +3x) -(2z -2x) = (-6) -(-6)

  5x = 0

  x = 0

Using this in the third equation, we have ...

  2z +0 = -6

  z = -3

And substituting these values into the first equation, we have ...

  5y -3(0) -4(-3) = 22

  5y = 10 . . . . . subtract 12

  y = 2

The solution to the system is (x, y, z) = (0, 2, -3).
