  (t, u, w) = (1, -2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator makes short work of this, giving the solution as ...

  (t, u, w) = (1, -2, -2)

__

There are many ways to solve this "by hand." Here's one of them.

Add the first and third equations. Their sum is ...

  -3t +4w = -11 . . . . . [eq4]

Add this to twice the second equation. That sum is ...

  (-3t +4w) +2(-4t -2w) = (-11) +2(0)

  -11t = -11

  t = 1

Substituting this into the second equation gives ...

  -4(1) -2w = 0

  w +2 = 0 . . . . divide by -2

  w = -2 . . . . add -2

Substituting for t in the third equation lets us find u.

  2(1) -2u = 6

  -1 +u = -3 . . . . . divide by -2

  u = -2 . . . . add 1

The solution is (t, u, w) = (1, -2, -2).
