Final Answer: The solution to the system of equations is \(\boxed{x = 3, y = -3}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Solve the first equation for y in terms of x: \(y = x + 6\)

Step 2 :Substitute \(y = x + 6\) into the second equation: \(4x - 3(x + 6) = 21\)

Step 3 :Solve for x: \(x = 3\)

Step 4 :Substitute \(x = 3\) back into the first equation to find y: \(-3 + y = -6\)

Step 5 :Solve for y: \(y = -3\)

Step 6 :Final Answer: The solution to the system of equations is \(\boxed{x = 3, y = -3}\)
