Substitute the expression for y in the second equation into the first equation and solve for x:

4x + 3(-1/3x + 6) = 36

4x - x + 18 = 36

3x = 18

x = 6

Now substitute x = 6 into the second equation to solve for y:

y = (-1/3)(6) + 6

y = 4

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is the ordered pair (6, 4).
