let smaller number = x and larger = y then do u mean 'smaller number IS nine less than larger number'?
X-Y=15 and x-2y=9 hence y=6 (I - II) and x=21
that is if twice the smaller number is 9 less than the larger number
i assume u do so 2x = y - 9 y - x = 15 adding eliminates y: x = 6 and plug x=6 into second equation y - 6 = 15 y = 21 answer (6,21)
