We have three equations to solve for z.
x + 2y + 3z =1 ...(1)
-x - y + 3z = 2 ...(2)
-6x + y + z = -2 ...(3)
x + 2y + 3z =1
=> x = 1 - 2y - 3z ...(4)
substitute in (2)
-x - y + 3z = 2
=> -1 + 2y + 3z - y + 3z = 2
=> y + 6z = 3
=> y = 3 - 6z
Substitute in (4)
=> x = 1 - 6 + 12z - 3z
=> x = -5 + 9z ... (5)
Substitute x and y from (5) and (4) resp. in (3)
-6(-5 + 9z) + 3 - 6z + z = -2
=> 30 - 54z + 3 - 6z + z = -2
=> -59z = -35
=> z = 35/59
