Using brute force (not recommended):
Select[
Flatten[
Table[
{x,y,z},
{x,3,8},{y,0,12},{z,1,9}],
2],
(3*#[[1]]+2*#[[2]]-#[[3]]==14&)]
{{3, 3, 1}, {3, 4, 3}, {3, 5, 5}, {3, 6, 7}, {3, 7, 9},
{4, 2, 2}, {4, 3, 4}, {4, 4, 6}, {4, 5, 8}, {5, 0, 1},
{5, 1, 3}, {5, 2, 5}, {5, 3, 7}, {5, 4, 9}, {6, 0, 4},
{6, 1, 6}, {6, 2, 8}, {7, 0, 7}, {7, 1, 9}}
Using Reduce over the domain Integers:
% == ({x,y,z} /. {ToRules[
Reduce[
{3x+2y-z==14,
3<=x<=8,0<=y<=12,1<=z<=9},{x,y,z}, Integers]]} // Sort)
True
