A) $x+2y-z=6$ B) $2x-y+3z=-13$ C) $3z-2y+3z=-16$
I got $x=-1$ , $y=2$ , $z=-3$
But, then I also got $x=11$ , $y=27$ , $z=-32$ by combining and eliminating in a different order.
Is this possible?

$$11+2(27)-(-32)=11+54+32> 6$$
The second proposed solution is not a solution to the linear system.
While for a general linear systems of equations might have more than one solution, in this case, note that the determinant of the corresponding matrix is non-zero, the solution should be unique.
