Haha, thats the craziest part. We just have to add all 3 equations. Nice (+1) :)
Wow! I knew I didn't have to write a solution, because I have you to fill in for me, :)

⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎧ 5 7 3 2 x + 2 1 3 4 y + 2 1 3 4 z = 7 8 6 6 2 1 3 4 x + 5 7 3 2 y + 2 1 3 4 z = 6 7 0 2 1 3 4 x + 2 1 3 4 y + 5 7 3 2 z = 1 1 4 6 4 ⟹ 1 ⟹ 2 ⟹ 3
The trick: 1 + 2 + 3
( 2 1 3 4 + 2 1 3 4 + 5 7 3 2 ) ( x + y + z ) = 7 8 6 6 + 6 7 0 + 1 1 4 6 4 1 0 0 0 0 ( x + y + z ) = 2 0 0 0 0 x + y + z = 2 x + y = 2 − z ⟹ 4
Substitute 4 into 3 :
2 1 3 4 ( x + y ) + 5 7 3 2 z = 1 1 4 6 4 2 1 3 4 ( 2 − z ) + 5 7 3 2 z = 1 1 4 6 4 4 2 6 8 − 2 1 3 4 z + 5 7 3 2 z = 1 1 4 6 4 3 5 9 8 z = 7 1 9 6 z = 2
Substitute z = 2 into 4 :
x + y = 2 − 2 x = − y ⟹ 5
Substitute z = 2 and 5 into 2 :
2 1 3 4 ( − y ) + 5 7 3 2 y + 2 1 3 4 ( 2 ) = 6 7 0 3 5 9 8 y = − 3 5 9 8 y = − 1
Therefore, x = − ( − 1 ) = 1
x y z = 1 ( − 1 ) ( 2 ) = − 2
