You may use the substitution method to solve the system, hence, you need to use the first equation to write x in terms of y and z, such that:
`x + y + z = 5 => x = 5 - y - z`
You may now replace `5 - y - z` for x in equation` x - 2y + 4z = 13` , such that:
`5 - y - z - 2y + 4z = 13 => -3y + 3z = 8`
You may use the third equation, `3y + 4z = 13` , along with `-3y + 3z = 8` equation, such that:
` -3y + 3z + 3y + 4z = 8 + 13 => 7z = 21 => z = 3`
You may replace 3 for z in equation `3y + 4z = 13:`
`3y + 12 = 13 => 3y = 1 => y = 1/3`
You may replace 3 for z and` 1/3` for y in equation `x = 5 - y - z:`
`x = 5 -1/3 - 3 => x = 2 - 1/3 => x = 5/3`
Hence, evaluating the solution to the given system, yields `x = 5/3, y = 1/3, z = 3.`
