    4x = 5y + 10----------------------- (1)

    z = y – x ----------------------------(2)

    3x + 4y = 20 – z -------------------(3) or

    20 - z = 3x + 4y --------------------(3a)

    Adding (2) and (3a) we get

    20 = 5y +2x -------------------------(4)

    Subtracting (4) from (1) we get

    4x - 20 = 10 -2x or 6x = 30 or x = 5

    and substituting in (4) we get 5y = 10 or y = 2

    and (2) gives z = 2 -5 = -3

    So the option, "(5, 2, -3)" is correct.
