2x - 5y + 5z = -18
6x + y - z = 10
5x - 2y - z = 15
Find (x, y, z)
I kept getting large fractions + final result doesn't match the system. Any help is appreciated, thanks for your time.

2x - 5y + 5z = -18 -- (1)
6x + y - z = 10 -- (2)
5x - 2y - z = 15 -- (3)
(2) - (3) => x + 3y = -5
(1) + (2)*5 => 32x = 32
x = 1
x + 3y = -5 => 1 + 3y = -5 => 3y = -6 => y = -2
plug in x and y to (1)
2(1) - 5(-2) + 5z = -18
2 + 10 + 5z = -18
5z = -30
z = -6
(x, y, z) = (1, -2, -6)
6x + y - z = 10 -- (2)
5x - 2y - z = 15 -- (3)
(2) - (3) => x + 3y = -5
(1) + (2)*5 => 32x = 32
x = 1

Multiple eliminations and determination should yield
x = 1
y = 8
z = 4
x = 1
y = 8
z = 4
