The Chain Rule & Implicit Differentiation · Challenge problem

The plane x+y+z=2x + y + z = 2 and the sphere x2+y2+z2=6x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 6 meet in a curve that passes through (1,2,−1)(1, 2, -1). Near this point, yy and zz are functions of xx along the curve. Find dzdx\dfrac{dz}{dx} at (1,2,−1)(1, 2, -1).
