I don't know how you want me to work these (substitution, elimination, or graphing) so im just going to do graphing.
---First: you need to put these equations into slope-intercept form (y=)
x + 6y = 24 ----subtract x from each side
6y = -x + 24 ----divide everything by 6

.
-6x + 5y = -21 ----add 6x to each side
5y = 6x - 21 ------divide each side by 5

.

Your solution is (6,3)
