Greetings!

Find the POI.

\left \{ {{3x+2y=12} \atop {6x+3y=21}} \right.
Multiply Equation #1 by 2.

\left \{ {{2(3x+2y)=2(12)} \atop {6x+3y=21}} \right.

\left \{ {{6x+4y=24} \atop {6x+3y=21}} \right.
Eliminate with subtraction.

\frac{\left \{ {{6x+4y=24} \atop {6x+3y=21}} \right. }{0x+y=3}

y=3

Substitute the value of y.

6x+3y=21

6x+3(3)=21
Simplify.

6x+9=21
Add -9 to both sides.

(6x+9)+(-9)=(21)+(-9)

6x=12
Divide both sides by 6.

(6x)/(6)= (12)/(6)

x=2

The Solution/POI is:

(2,3)

Hope this helps.
