    x = - 1 and y = - 3.

    y = - 3 and z = - 2.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    xy+3x+2y=-6 ... (1)

    yz+y+3z=-3 ... (2)

    xz+2x+z=-2 ... (3)

    From the second equation:

    yz + y = - 3z - 3

    y = (-3z - 3) / (z + 1)

    Substitute for y in equation 1:

    x (-3z - 3) / (z + 1) + 3x + 2 (-3z - 3) / (z + 1) = - 6

    x (-3z - 3) + 3x (z + 1) + 2 (-3x - 3) = - 6 (z + 1)

    -3xz - 3x + 3xz + 3x - 6x - 6 = - 6z - 6

    -3xz + 3xz - 6x + 6z = 0

    - 6x + 6z = 0 ... (4).

    From the third equation:

    xz + z = - 2x - 2

    z = (-2x - 2) / x + 1)

    Now substitute for z in equation (4):

    -6x + 6 (-2x - 2) / (x + 1) = 0

    -6x (x + 1) - 12x - 12 = 0

    -6x^2 - 18x - 12 = 0

    x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0

    (x + 2) (x + 1) = 0

    x = - 1, - 2.

    Substitute for x in equation 3:

    -z - 2 + z = - 2

    -2 = - 2

    so we cant find z from this value of x.

    When x = - 2:

    -2z - 4 + z = - 2

    -z = 2

    z = - 2.

    Substitute for x = - 1 in the first equation:

    -y - 3 + 2y = - 6

    y = - 6 + 3 = - 3.

    y = - 3 and z = - 2 satisfies equation 2.
