Below is a picture of a system of linear equations whose solution is shown. (See the first system.) Notice that on the left side, the $x$ in the first row and the $y$ in the second row are too close. Compare them to the $x$ and $y$ in the second system.
Question: Is it possible to space out the $x$ and $y$ in the first system so that their positions match those in the second system?
I tried using \phantom
, but it did not help; it created too much space when compared to the second system.

\noindent Here is a system of linear equations whose solution is shown:
\[
\systeme[xyz]{x - z = 1, y + 2z = 3, z = 0}
\quad \longrightarrow \quad
\systeme*[xyz]{x = 1, y = 3, z = 0}
\quad \longrightarrow \quad
\text{point $(1,1,0)$.}
\]
The $x$ and $y$ on the left side are too close. Compare it to this system:
\[
\systeme[xyz]{x + y - z = 1, y + 2z = 3, z = 0}
\quad \longrightarrow \quad
\systeme*[xyz]{x = -2, y = 3, z = 0}
\quad \longrightarrow \quad
\text{point $(-2,1,0)$.}
\]

A
\phantom
helps make it work. Note I adjusted the notations of the second example to match those of the first, so that one can see the alignment matches up.
