Break it down
"15 less than " means -15
"a number" means unknown or placeholder means x
"is equal to" means '='
'12' means 12
-15+x=12
add 15
x=27
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
