### Solving Systems of Equations

Consider the following system of equations:

\[ 
\begin{aligned}
1. & \quad x - y + 8z = -107 \\
2. & \quad 6x + z = 17 \\
3. & \quad 3y - 5z = 89 \\
\end{aligned}
\]

#### Problem Statement
You are required to solve this system of equations and determine the sum of the solutions (i.e., the sum of the values of \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\)).

#### Answer Choices
Select the correct sum of the solutions from the following options:

- \( \bigcirc \) 13
- \( \bigcirc \) 0
- \( \bigcirc \) -16
- \( \bigcirc \) 16
- \( \bigcirc \) -13

#### Instructions
Start by solving the system using substitution or elimination methods. After finding the values of \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\), add them together to find the sum. Select the appropriate answer from the choices provided.
