**Marcelo's Solution to the Linear System**

Marcelo was watching Math Nation videos and solved a Try It! exercise involving a linear system with three variables. The task is to solve the system, and his work is shown below.

### Try It!
3. **Solve the following system of equations:**

\[
\begin{align*}
-3a + 4b + 2c &= 1 \quad \quad \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \\
a + 2b - c &= 6 \quad \quad \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \\
2a - b + 3c &= 7 \quad \quad \quad \text{(Equation 3)}
\end{align*}
\]

**Steps:**

1. **Substitute and Simplify:**

   - From Equation 2: 
     \[
     a + 2b - c = 6
     \]

     Solve to express \( a \) in terms of \( b \) and \( c \):
     \[
     a + 2b = c + 6
     \]

2. **Combination of Equations:**

   - Use Equation 2:
     \[
     a + 2b - c = 6
     \]
   - Use Equation 1 to eliminate variable:
     \[
     4a - 2b + 4c = 14
     \]

     Adding these, results in:
     \[
     5a + 5c = 20 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 5a = 20 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a = 5
     \]

3. **Substitute Back to Find Other Variables:**

   - Substitute \( a = 5 \) into Equation 3:
     \[
     2(5) - b + 3c = 7 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 10 - b + 3c = 7
     \]

   - Simplify:
     \[
     -b + 3c = -3
     \]

   - Solve for \( b \):
     \[
     b = 0
     \]

4. **Solve for the Remaining Variable:**

   - Substitute values of \( a \) and \( b \) into Equation 1:
     \[
     -3(5) +
