Let's assume the number of office buildings is x.

The total number of windows in the office buildings is 21*x.

The window cleaner can clean 42 windows in total (the school windows) and 126 windows with the available supplies.

So, the equation that represents this problem algebraically is:
21x + 42 = 126
