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),(216,0),(4,3),(2,−9), and (53,−11).
