x_{3}=-3x_{1}-2x_{2}+5
Solve 3x_{1}+2x_{2}+x_{3}=5 for x_{3}.
2x_{1}+3x_{2}-3x_{1}-2x_{2}+5=1 2x_{1}+x_{2}+3\left(-3x_{1}-2x_{2}+5\right)=11
Substitute -3x_{1}-2x_{2}+5 for x_{3} in the second and third equation.
x_{2}=x_{1}-4 x_{1}=-\frac{5}{7}x_{2}+\frac{4}{7}
Solve these equations for x_{2} and x_{1} respectively.
x_{1}=-\frac{5}{7}\left(x_{1}-4\right)+\frac{4}{7}
Substitute x_{1}-4 for x_{2} in the equation x_{1}=-\frac{5}{7}x_{2}+\frac{4}{7}.
x_{1}=2
Solve x_{1}=-\frac{5}{7}\left(x_{1}-4\right)+\frac{4}{7} for x_{1}.
x_{2}=2-4
Substitute 2 for x_{1} in the equation x_{2}=x_{1}-4.
x_{2}=-2
Calculate x_{2} from x_{2}=2-4.
x_{3}=-3\times 2-2\left(-2\right)+5
