Answer:

The only two numbers that your ratio is 9:11 and their differences is 6 are:

33 and 27

Explanation:

9a = 11b Eq. 1

a - b = 6 Eq. 2

From Eq. 2:

a = 6 + b Eq. 3

Replacing Eq. 3 in Eq. 1:

9(6+b) = 11b

9*6 + 9*b = 11b

54 + 9b = 11b

54 = 11b - 9b

54 = 2b

54/2 = b

27 = b

From Eq. 3:

a = 6 + 27

a = 33

Check:

From Eq. 1:

9*33 = 11*27 = 297
