Hi there!

We can solve this equation by using the systems of equations.

We can do this by subtracting like terms from both equations using substitution.

First, let's find the value of y:

6x + 3y = 21
3y = -6x + 21
y = -2x + 7

Then, we should plug it into one of the equations:

3x - 7y = 2
3x - 7(-2x + 7) = 2
3x + 14x - 49 = 2
17x = 51
x = 3

Now, we solve for y by plugging the value of x into the equation:

3x - 7y = 2
3(3) - 7y = 2
9 - 7y = 2
-7y = -7
7y = 7
y = 1

There's your answers.

Hope this helps!

Assuming the interest is simple interest, as opposed to compound interest,

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount}\\\\
A=P(1+rt)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$3600\\

A=3600(1+0.09\cdot 25)\implies 3600(3.25)$
