There are an infinite amount.

Explanation:

This equation is a line. There are infinitely many ordered pairs that can satisfy the equation #6x-1y=21#.

Here's a graph, on which you can see every single point that satisfies the equation:
graph{6x-y=21 [-17.03, 19, -8.47, 9.56]}

Some (but not all!) examples of points that DO work would be #(0,-21),(21/6,0),(4,3),(2,-9),# and #(5/3,-11)#.
