----
Solve the lower equation for "y":
y = 6x+33
---
Substitute into the upper equation:
9x + 8(6x+33) = -21
9x + 48x + 264 = -21
57x = 285
---
x = 5
---
Solve for "y":
y = 6x+33
y = 6*5+33 = 63

Note that the second equation already has one of the variables with a coefficient of 1, namely the 
. So the simplest strategy would be to solve the second equation for in terms of everything else by adding 
to both sides:
Now that you have an expression in 
that is equal to you can substitute back into the first equation:
\ =\ -21)
Now you have a single equation in a single variable that can be solved by ordinary means. Solve for . Then substitute the calculated value of 
back into the second given equation and solve for the value of . Your ordered pair will be your two calculated values in order )
