Step 5.3.2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 z}{3} = \frac{3}{3}$

$x = \frac{5 + z}{2}$

$y = \frac{13}{2} - \frac{15 z}{2}$

Step 5.3.2.2.1.2

Divide $z$ by $1$ .

$z = \frac{3}{3}$

$x = \frac{5 + z}{2}$

$y = \frac{13}{2} - \frac{15 z}{2}$

$z = \frac{3}{3}$

$x = \frac{5 + z}{2}$

$y = \frac{13}{2} - \frac{15 z}{2}$

$z = \frac{3}{3}$

$x = \frac{5 + z}{2}$

$y = \frac{13}{2} - \frac{15 z}{2}$

Step 5.3.2.3.1

Divide $3$ by $3$ .

$z = 1$

$x = \frac{5 + z}{2}$

$y = \frac{13}{2} - \frac{15 z}{2}$

$z = 1$

$x = \frac{5 + z}{2}$

$y = \frac{13}{2} - \frac{15 z}{2}$

$z = 1$

$x = \frac{5 + z}{2}$

$y = \frac{13}{2} - \frac{15 z}{2}$

$z = 1$

$x = \frac{5 + z}{2}$

$y = \frac{13}{2} - \frac{15 z}{2}$

$z = 1$

$x = \frac{5 + z}{2}$
