Solve: system in three variables
12. 2x + y + 2z = 11
3x + 2y + 2z = 8
x + 4y + 3z = 0

5. a - 5c = 17
b + 2c = -1
4a - b - 3c = 12

6. solve using the reduced row echelon format(rref) function: show check of the solution
10x + 6y + z = 7
5x - 9y - 2z = 3
15x - 12y + 2z = -5

Solve: system of three equations
