Answer

The solution to the system of equations is \(\boxed{x = 10, y = 9, z = 6}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Given the system of equations: \[\begin{aligned} 4x - 2y + 2z & = 34 \\ 5x - 4y - 4z & = -10 \\ x - y + 5z & = 31 \end{aligned}\]

Step 2 :First, multiply the third equation by 4 and subtract it from the first equation. Then, multiply the third equation by 5 and subtract it from the second equation. This will give us two new equations.

Step 3 :Solve these two new equations to find the values of y and z.

Step 4 :Once we have the values of y and z, substitute them into any of the original equations to find the value of x.

Step 5 :The solution to the system of equations is \(\boxed{x = 10, y = 9, z = 6}\).
