The system of equations given in the image is:

\[
\begin{aligned}
1. \ 3x + 3y + 2z &= 1 \\
2. \  x + 2y &= 4 \\
3. \ 10y + 3z &= -2 \\
4. \ 2x - 3y - z &= 5
\end{aligned}
\]

To check for consistency and, if consistent, solve the system, we will proceed in the following steps:

1. **Substitute from simpler equations into others**.
2. **Solve for one variable, then back-substitute** to find the others.
3. **Check the solution** for consistency across all equations.

Let’s begin solving:

### Step 1: Solve Equation (2) for \(x\)
From equation (2):
\[
x + 2y = 4 \implies x = 4 - 2y
\]

### Step 2: Substitute \(x = 4 - 2y\) into Equation (1) and (4)
Substitute into equation (1):
\[
3(4 - 2y) + 3y + 2z = 1 \implies 12 - 6y + 3y + 2z = 1 \implies -3y + 2z = -11
\]
Thus, we get:
\[
-3y + 2z = -11 \ \text{(Equation 5)}
\]

Now substitute into equation (4):
\[
2(4 - 2y) - 3y - z = 5 \implies 8 - 4y - 3y - z = 5 \implies -7y - z = -3
\]
Thus, we get:
\[
-7y - z = -3 \ \text{(Equation 6)}
\]

### Step 3: Solve the system of Equations (5) and (6)
We have the system:
\[
\begin{aligned}
-3y + 2z &= -11 \\
-7y - z &= -3
\end{aligned}
\]

Solve for \(z\) from Equation (6):
\[
z = -3 - 7y
\]

Substitute \(z = -3 - 7y\) into Equation (5):
\[
-3y + 2(-3 - 7y) = -11 \implies -3y - 6 - 14y = -11 \implies -17y = -5 \implies y = \frac{5}{17}
\]

### Step 4: Solve for \(z\)
Substitute \(y = \frac{5}{17}\) into \(z = -3 - 7y\):
\[
z = -3 - 7\left(\frac{5}{17}\right) = -3 - \frac{35}{17} = -\frac{51}{17}
\]

### Step 5: Solve for \(x\)
Substitute \(y = \frac{5}{17}\) into \(x = 4 - 2y\):
\[
x = 4 - 2\left(\frac{5}{17}\right) = 4 - \frac{10}{17} = \frac{68}{17} - \frac{10}{17} = \frac{58}{17}
\]

### Step 6: Verify consistency with Equation (3)
Substitute \(y = \frac{5}{17}\) and \(z = -\frac{51}{17}\) into Equation (3):
\[
10y + 3z = 10\left(\frac{5}{17}\right) + 3\left(-\frac{51}{17}\right) = \frac{50}{17} - \frac{153}{17} = \frac{-103}{17} = -2
\]
This holds true, so the system is consistent.

### Final Solution:
\[
x = \frac{58}{17}, \quad y = \frac{5}{17}, \quad z = -\frac{51}{17}
\]

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
1. How would the solution change if one of the equations had a different constant?
2. What methods other than substitution could be used to solve this system?
3. What is the geometric interpretation of this system of equations in 3D space?
4. How can we generalize this approach to systems with more variables?
5. Can we use matrix methods, like Gaussian elimination, to solve this?

**Tip**: Always double-check the solution by substituting values back into the original equations to verify consistency.

Test consistency and if consistent solve: 
1. 3x + 3y + 2z = 1 
2. x + 2y = 4 
3. 10y + 3z = -2 
4. 2x - 3y - z = 5
