X and y are the numbers
x>y
diffference is 42
x-y=42
larger is 3 less than 6 times smaller
x=-3+6y
subsitute -3+6y for x
x-y=42
-3+6y-y=42
-3+5y=42
add3 to both sides
5y=45
divide both sides by 5
y=9
sub back
x=-3+6y
x=-3+6(9)
x=-3+54
x=51
the numbers are 51 and 9

Answer:
there is no solution for the question
The answer depends on the way you solved it.
I am assuming you take the base on which you perceived to be: . 5 and height which is 2.
So you must've ended with 1
But in actuality, you need to use the equation above and plug in 1.5 and 1
Subtract them and you should get 1.25
Do the same to the other side, you should get 6.
.125 x 6 = .875
