          If the reciprocals are freaking you out, just let $t=frac1x,u=frac1y,v=frac1z,$ so you have the system $$begincasest +u+v=0\4t +3u+2v=5\3t +2u+4v=-4endcases$$ Once you've solved this, as long as none of $t,u,v$ is $0,$ you can simply let $x=frac1t,y=frac1u,z=frac1v.$ If one or more of $t,u,v$ is $0,$ then the system has no solution.

              how about this, let:
              $$X=frac1x,,Y=frac1y,,Z=frac1z$$
              and it is much easier to solve the following:
              $$beginpmatrix

                Observe that the system's matrix of the reciprocal of the unknowns is:



                $$A=beginpmatrix1&1&1&0\
                4&3&2&5\
                3&2&4&-4endpmatrixstackrelR_2-4R_1,,R_3-3R_1longrightarrowbeginpmatrix1&1&1&0\
                0&-1&-2&5\
                0&-1&-1&-4endpmatrixstackrelR_3-R_2longrightarrow$$



                $$beginpmatrix1&1&1&0\
                0&-1&-2&5\
                0&0&1&-9endpmatrix$$



                Try to finish the exercise now, taking into account that the third column represents $;cfrac 1z;$ , the second $;cfrac1y;$ and the first one $;cfrac1x;$

                                    how about this, let:
                                    $$X=frac1x,,Y=frac1y,,Z=frac1z$$
                                    and it is much easier to solve the following:
                                    $$beginpmatrix
                                    1&1&1\
                                    4&3&2\
                                    3&2&4
                                    endpmatrix
                                    beginpmatrix
                                    X\
                                    Y\
                                    Z
                                    endpmatrix=
                                    beginpmatrix
                                    0\5\-4
