First - I see you tried to compile like so
javac Test.java
***BUT*** your class is named "Welcome"
your class name needs to be the same as the name of the file.
You should name the file "Welcome.java"
then compile with: "javac Welcome.java"
and the error message indicates you used lower-case "system" in the actual
"Test.java" file

Looks like line 3 is actually
system.out.println
when it should be
System.out.println

Java is case sensitive.

system should be System, java is case-sensitive
