Answer:

x=5, y=4. (5, 4).

Explanation:

y=2x-6

y=5x-21

--------------

2x-6=5x-21

2x-5x-6=-21

-3x-6=-21

-3x=-21+6

-3x=-15

3x=15

x=15/3

x=5

y=2(5)-6

y=10-6

y=4

The answer would be b because if you substitute 5 in for x y=2x-6 would equal 4 and y=5x-21 would equal 4. I hope this helps!
