------------------------------------------------------------
Define the two numbers
------------------------------------------------------------
Let one number be x and the other be y

------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations and solve
------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = -14 --------------- (1)
y - x = 12 ------------------(2)

------------------------------------------------------------
(1) + (2)
------------------------------------------------------------
2y = -2
y = -1

------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = -1 into (2)
------------------------------------------------------------
y - x = 12
-1 - x = 12
x = -1 -12
x = -13

------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = -13, y = -1
------------------------------------------------------------
