What is the value of y in the solution to the following system of equations?

5x+7y+9z=0

x−y+z=−3

8x+y=12

Cassie is traveling 675 miles today to visit her brother and his family. so far, she has stopped for gas three times. at the first stop, she put in 7.1 gallons of gas and paid $23.79. at her second stop, she put in 5.8 gallons of gas and paid $19.08. and, at the third stop, 6.6 gallons and paid $20.39. at which stop did casey pay the most for gas?

This is so hard and it’s for a test

Three numbers x, y, and z are in the ratio 2: 7: 8. if 12 is subtracted from y, then three numbers form a geometric sequence (in the order x, y–12, z). find x, y, and z. there are 2 sets.
