answer:

x = - 9/2

y = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

make both equations look like y =

2x-3y=21 -> -3y= -2x+21 -> y = (-2x+21)/-3 -> y = 2/3x - 7

-6x + 2y = 7 -> 2y = 6x + 7 -> y = 3x + 7/2

now make the equations equal to each other (since they both equal y)

get x

2/3x - 7 = 3x + 7/2

-7 -7/2 = 3x - 2/3x

-14/2 -7/2 = 9/3x - 2/3x

-21/2 = 7/3x

(3/7) -21/2 = x

x = (3/7) -21/2

x = - 63/14

x = - 9/2

put it back in an equation to get y

y = 3x + 7/2

y = 3(-9/2) + 7/2

y = -27/2 + 7/2

y = -20/2

y = - 10
