Answer: im going to use my own variables so it's more understandable for me

1: 2p + d = 7.5

2: p + d + 3c = 6

3: p - 2c = 2

(2p + d) - (p + d + 3c) = 1.5

2p + d - p - d - 3c = 1.5

p - 3c = 1.5

2p - 6c = 3

4p - 12c = 3p - 6c

p = 6c

4c = 2

c = 0.5

p - 1 = 2

p = 3

3 + d + 1.5 = 6

3 + d = 4.5

d = 1.5

so

x = 3

y = 1.5

z = 0.5
