After clean up in the x's -- isolating x to a single row (that's the trick):

 
 Tableau #2 
 x      y      z      s1     s2     s3     p              
 0      1/2    7/2    1      -3/2   0      0      11      
 1      1/2    1/2    0      1/2    0      0      4       
 0      1/2    3/2    0      -1/2   1      0      3       
 0      -1     0      0      2      0      1      16

Note: 3 constraints gives 3 slacks -- no way out of it.
