The variables in the system of equations represent unknown values that we need to solve for:

1. **\(x\):** Represents the first unknown variable.
2. **\(y\):** Represents the second unknown variable.
3. **\(z\):** Represents the third unknown variable.

We are tasked with finding the specific values of \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) that satisfy all three equations simultaneously:

1. \( x + 4y - 6z = -1 \)
2. \( 2x - y + 2z = -7 \)
3. \( -x + 2y - 4z = 5 \)

Let's solve for each of these variables step-by-step using the elimination method:

### Step-by-Step Solution

1. **Eliminate \(x\) from equations (1) and (3):**

\[
(x + 4y - 6z) + (-x + 2y - 4z) = -1 + 5 
\]

Simplifies to:

\[
6y - 10z = 4 \quad \text{(Equation 4)}
\]

2. **Eliminate \(x\) from equations (2) and (3):**

\[
(2x - y + 2z) + 2(-x + 2y - 4z) = -7 + 10
\]

Simplifies to:

\[
3y - 6z = 3 \quad \text{(Equation 5)}
\]

### Step 3: Solve for y

Combining step solving equation 4 and 5 we get  answer equation of linear in terms of z.

And substitute find the value of x.


Finally plug in the final expression and solve.
