1. **State the problem:** Solve the simultaneous equations for integers $x, y, z$:
$$\begin{cases} x - 2y = -3 \\ 2y + z = 3 \\ z - 2x = -3 \end{cases}$$
2. **Use substitution or elimination:** From equation (1), express $x$ in terms of $y$:
$$x = -3 + 2y$$
3. **Substitute $x$ into equation (3):**
$$z - 2(-3 + 2y) = -3$$
$$z + 6 - 4y = -3$$
$$z = -3 - 6 + 4y$$
$$z = -9 + 4y$$
4. **Substitute $z$ into equation (2):**
$$2y + (-9 + 4y) = 3$$
$$2y - 9 + 4y = 3$$
$$6y - 9 = 3$$
$$6y = 3 + 9$$
$$6y = 12$$
5. **Solve for $y$:**
$$y = \frac{12}{6}$$
$$y = 2$$
6. **Find $x$ using $y=2$:**
$$x = -3 + 2(2)$$
$$x = -3 + 4$$
$$x = 1$$
7. **Find $z$ using $y=2$:**
$$z = -9 + 4(2)$$
$$z = -9 + 8$$
$$z = -1$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{(x, y, z) = (1, 2, -1)}$$
