The system of equations presented in the image is:

\[
\begin{align*}
1) & \ 4x - 4y - 2z = -24 \\
2) & \ -4x + y - z = -6 \\
3) & \ -2x - 4y + 5z = -8
\end{align*}
\]

We can solve this system of equations using either substitution, elimination, or matrix methods (such as Gaussian elimination). Let's use elimination to find the solution for \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\).

### Step 1: Add equations (1) and (2)
We can start by eliminating \(x\) by adding equation (1) and equation (2).

\[
(4x - 4y - 2z) + (-4x + y - z) = -24 + (-6)
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
-3y - 3z = -30
\]

Dividing through by \(-3\):

\[
y + z = 10 \quad \text{(Equation 4)}
\]

### Step 2: Add equation (1) and equation (3)
Next, let's eliminate \(x\) by adding equation (1) and equation (3).

\[
(4x - 4y - 2z) + (-2x - 4y + 5z) = -24 + (-8)
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
2x - 8y + 3z = -32 \quad \text{(Equation 5)}
\]

### Step 3: Solve system of two equations
Now we have two simplified equations:

1) \( y + z = 10 \) (from Step 1)
2) \( 2x - 8y + 3z = -32 \) (from Step 2)

We can now substitute \(z = 10 - y\) from the first equation into the second equation.
