3 * x = 4y (from the question)
X+y = 21 (from the question)

3(21-y) = 4y (sub equation 2 in equation 1)

63-3y = 4y

Y=9 (now you sub the 9 instead of y in any of the equations and solve for x)
X=21-y = 21-9 = 12

Hope it helps, the logic is sound just go over the math.

Answer:

\large\boxed{x\approx56.44}

\large\text{It's close to 55.0}

Step-by-step explanation:

\tan12^o\approx0.2126\\\\\tan12^o=\dfrac{12}{x}\to\dfrac{12}{x}=0.2126\qquad\text{convert the decimal to the fraction}\\\\\dfrac{12}{x}=\dfrac{2126}{10000}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\2126x=120000\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2126}\\\\x=\dfrac{120000}{2126}\\\\x\approx56.44
