Answer:
(x,y,z) \rightarrow (2,4,2)

Explanation:

Eliminate one of the variables.


\textrm{EQ1: } x+y-z=4\\EQ2: 3x+4y-3z=16\\\\\text{Multiply EQ1 times negative 3}\\\\EQ1 \cdot -3: -3x-3y+3z=-12\\\text{EQ2: } 3x+4y-3z=16\\

Solve by elimination.


y = 4

Substitute y=4 into EQ1.


x+4-z=4\\x-z=0\\x=z

Substitute y=4 and x=z into EQ2.


9x-3y+4z=14\\9x-3(4)+4x=14\\13x-12=14\\13x=26\\x=2

z=x=2

Solution:
(x,y,z) \rightarrow (2,4,2)
