$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}5x+2y=4\\3x+4y+2z=6\\7x+3y+4z=29\end{array}\right\\\\A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&2&0\\3&4&2\\7&3&4\end{array}\right]\\\\\det A=5\cdot4\cdot4+3\cdot3\cdot0+2\cdot2\cdot7-7\cdot4\cdot0-3\cdot2\cdot5-3\cdot2\cdot4=54\\W_x=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&2&0\\6&4&2\\29&3&4\end{array}\right]\\\det W_x=4\cdot4\cdot4+2\cdot2\cdot29+6\cdot3\cdot0-29\cdot4\cdot0-3\cdot2\cdot4-6\cdot2\cdot4=108$

$W_y=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&4&0\\3&6&2\\7&29&4\end{array}\right]\\\det W_y=5\cdot6\cdot4+3\cdot29\cdot0+4\cdot2\cdot7-7\cdot6\cdot0-29\cdot2\cdot5-3\cdot4\cdot4=-162\\W_z=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&2&4\\3&4&6\\7&3&29\end{array}\right]\\\det W_z=5\cdot4\cdot29+3\cdot3\cdot4+6\cdot2\cdot7-7\cdot4\cdot4-3\cdot6\cdot5-3\cdot2\cdot29=324\\\\x=\dfrac{\det W_x}{\det A}=\dfrac{108}{54}=2\\\\y=\dfrac{\det W_y}{\det A}=\dfrac{-62}{54}=-3\\\\z=\dfrac{\det W_z}{\det A}=\dfrac{324}{54}=6$
