Hi, 
Three times the smaller number is the same as twice the larger:(3x=2L)
Let x and {{{(3x)/2}}} represent the smaller and larger number respectively
Question states***sum of two numbers is 15
  x + (3/2)x = 15
    (5/2)x = 15
         x = 15(2/5)
         x = 6, the smaller number.  the larger number is 9
