    From the third equation 2z=-2x+4

    z=-x+2

    plug into the second equation - 4+4y+5 (-x+2) = 7

    -4+4y-5x+10=7

    4y-5x=1

    y=5/4x+1/4

    plug both of these into the first equation x+y+z=8

    x+5/4x+1/4 + (-x+2) = 8

    5/4x+2.25=8

    5/4x=5.75

    x=4.6

    now plug back into the substitution equations.

    z=-x+2 = - 4.6+2 = - 2.6

    y=5/4x+1/4=5.75+1/4=6

    the answer is (4.6, 6, - 2.6)
