Ah, it isn't that hard. You basically take the top two equations and eliminate one of the variables, like z for example. Then you do the same with the bottom two and eliminate the same variable(yes, you use the middle equation twice). Now you have 2 two variable equations and you solve these as normal to get your x and y variables and then input those two values in to one of the original equations to find z. Hope this helps!
