You have two relations for three unknowns, so there are infinitely many solutions.
From 2m − 3n = 21:
n = (2m − 21)/3 = (2/3)m − 7.
Also N = 3 − m.
So the general solution (with free parameter m = t) is:
m = t,
n = (2t − 21)/3,
N = 3 − t,
for any real t.
If you want integer solutions, m must be divisible by 3. Put m = 3k (k integer) to get:
m = 3k,
n = 2k − 7,
N = 3 − 3k.
Example: k = 4 → m = 12, n = 1, N = −9.
