first equation:

x + y - z = 0

x + y = z

in the other 2 equations, replace z with x + y:

2x + 4y -(x+y) = 0

3x + 2y +2(x+y) = 0

simplify:

2x + 4y -x -y = 0

3x + 2y +2x +2y = 0

simplify more:

x + 3y = 0

5x + 4y = 0

in the top equation, move the 3y to the other side:

x = -3y

in the bottom equation, replace x with -3y:

5(-3y) + 4y = 0

-15y +4y = 0

-11y = 0

y = 0

but x = -3y, so:

x = -3(0)

x = 0

but x + y - z = 0, so:

0 + 0 - z = 0

z = 0

Answer:  x = 0, y = 0, z = 0
