I believe this question logically tells us to find the value of w. The two equations are already equated. Since there is 1 unknown and 1 equation, the system is solvable. The solution is as follows:

5/(6w+21) = -1/3(2w - 9)
5/(6w+21) = -1/(6w - 27)
Cross multiplying the terms:
5(6w - 27) = -1(6w +21)
30w - 135 = -6w - 21
30w + 6w = -21 + 135 = 114
36w = 114
w = 114/36
w = 19/6 or 3.167
