Write the system as the following augmented matrix:
[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 3 & -2 & 5 & -7 \\ 1 & -1 & 3 & -5 \\ 4 & 1 & 1 & 6 \end{array} \right][/tex]
Swap rows 1 and 2 :
[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 3 & -5 \\ 3 & -2 & 5 & -7 \\ 4 & 1 & 1 & 6 \end{array} \right][/tex]
Eliminate the x coefficient from the last two rows by add -3 (row 1) to row 2, and -4 (row 1) to row 3 :
[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 3 & -5 \\ 0 & 1 & -4 & 8 \\ 0 & 5 & -11 & 26 \end{array} \right][/tex]
Eliminate the y coefficient from the first and last rows by adding row 2 to row 1, and -5 (row 2) to row 3 :
[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & -1 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & -4 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 9 & -14 \end{array} \right][/tex]
Eliminate the z coefficient from the second row by adding 4 (row 3) to 9 (row 2) :
[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & -1 & 3 \\ 0 & 9 & 0 & 16 \\ 0 & 0 & 9 & -14 \end{array} \right][/tex]
Eliminate the z coefficient from the first row by adding row 3 to 9 (row 1) :
[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 9 & 0 & 0 & 13 \\ 0 & 9 & 0 & 16 \\ 0 & 0 & 9 & -14 \end{array} \right][/tex]
Then the solution to the system is (x, y, z) such that
9x = 13 and 9y = 16 and 9z = -14
or
x = 13/9 and y = 16/9 and z = -14/9
