It is giving you a solution,
[tex] y=\frac{1}{5x}\qquad z=\frac{4}{5x}[/tex]
In fact that is an infinite number of solutions, since [itex]x[/itex] is just a free-parameter. You get this because not all of your equations are independent. In other words, one of the equations can be written as a linear combination of the other two.
