    X + y + z = 50

    y + 10 = x, solving for y, y = x - 10

    x = 2z, solving for z, z = x/2

    Substituting for y and z,

    x + x - 10 + x/2 = 50

    (5/2) x - 10 = 50

    (5/2) x = 60

    x = (2/5) * 60 = 24

    y = x - 10 = 24 - 10 = 14

    Z = x/2 = 24/2 = 12

    Checking:

    x + y + z = 50, 24 + 14 + 12 = 50, 50 = 50. Solution meets the initial constraint.
