Let us say the two numbers are x and y and x>y.
The data we have are;
Difference between the numbers are 12.
3 times larger number is equal to 7 times smaller number.
Then we can write;
 ----(1)
 ----(2)
From (1) we can say 
Then substituting  to (2) gives;




Then;


Answer:
B. (-2,-4)
Explanation
Given equations:
y = 3x + 2
y = -2x - 8
Solving both equations will yield the values of x and y;
Solution:
y = 3x + 2 ----- (i)
y = -2x - 8 ------ (ii)
Using substitution method, input equation i, into ii
3x + 2 = -2x - 8
Collect like terms and solve;
3x + 2x = -8 -2
5x = -10
x = -2
Then put x = -2 into i, to find y
y = (-2 x 3) + 2
y = -6 + 2 = -4
So, the solution of the equation is B. (-2,-4)
Based on the information given the chocolates stated on the label is 0.0042-ounce lighter.
Weight:
Using this formula
Chocolate weight=Current weight-Actual weight
Where:
Current weight=0.384
Actual weight=0.3798
Let plug in the formula
Chocolate weight=0.384-0.3798
Chocolate weight=0.0042 ounce
In conclusion, the chocolates stated on the label are 0.0042-ounce lighter.
