Solving for x=2yz, we can plug that into x to get rid on the uneeded variable
x=2yz
y=y
z=z
Because x=2yz we can plug that into x to get rid of the uneeded variable.
[xyz]=[2yzyz]=y[210]+z[101]
We have found spanning set with no unneeded variables, which by the spanning set theorem, is the basis.
[210],[101]}
