6 times a larger number (so 6y) is equal (=) to the sum of a snaller number and 18 (x+18)

6y = x+18

Twice of larger number (2y) and the difference of smaller number (x) is equal to 6

2y - x = 6

+3

    I'm not sure what techniques you've been looking at to solve a system like this, but substitution would be a good one to use. Solve one of the equations for one of the variables (pick an easy one). How about using the first equation and solving for x:

    6y = x + 18

    x = 6y - 18

    Now, plug in the expression for x into the other equation:

    2y - (6y - 18) = 6

    Solve that for y, then use the answer to find x.

    6y = x + 18

    2y = x + 6 subtract : -

    4y = 12

    y = 3

    substitute y=3 into second equation:-

    6 = x + 6

    so x = 0

    solution is x=0. y=3
