To solve the system by substitution, we can set the two equations equal to each other:

-2x = -9x + 21

Now, let's solve for x:

Add 9x to both sides:

7x = 21

Divide by 7:

x = 3

Now that we have found x, we can plug it back into one of the equations to solve for y. Let's use the first equation y = -2x:

y = -2(3)
y = -6

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 3 and y = -6.
