39

Explanation:

If larger number is #y# and smaller number is #x# then

Given that,
#y = (3x)/2#

Also,
#y - x = 13#
Substitute #y = (3x)/2#
#(3x)/2 - x = 13#

#x(3/2 - 1) = 13#

#x/2 = 13#

#x = 26#

# y= (3/2) * x = (3*26)/2 = 39#

Explanation:

If larger number is #y# and smaller number is #x# then

Given that,
#y = (3x)/2#

Also,
#y - x = 13#
Substitute #y = (3x)/2#
#(3x)/2 - x = 13#

#x(3/2 - 1) = 13#

#x/2 = 13#
