You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since you know that y = 66, does it make sense that you can replace y with 66 in the second equation? That would make it
66 = 2/3 x - 27.
Can you solve this equation for x?
Hint: add 27 to both sides, then multiply both sides by 3/2.
What do you get for x?
