Answer:

x=6

y=13

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement says that:

$3x=6y+3\\$

Been y the smaller and x the larger. The other equation that we have is the summation of the two numbers. Then we have 2 equations and 2 unknowns

$1. 3x=6y+3\\2. x+y=19\\$

Solving the equations the answers is x=13 and y=6.

No, she cannot use a ratio of 21 to 6. You can figure this out in a few different ways. First you can simplify down the fraction 18/3, to get 6/1. 6/1 does not equal 21/6, because 21/6 equals 7/2. However, 6/1 it does equal 36/6. You could also noticed that three doubles to make six, yet 18 does not double to make 21
