The numbers are: 2n and (2n+2)
we can suggest this equation:
4(2n)=2(2n+2)-12

We compute this equation:
8n=4n+4-12
8n-4n=-8
4n=-8
n=-8/4
n=-2

we compute the numbers:
2n=2(-2)=-4
2n+2=-4+2=-2


answer: the numbers are -4 and -2.

The first step is to define the system of equations.

Take x and y as the cost of a small box and a large box respectively.

\begin{gathered} 2x+y=12 \\ 3x+y=16 \end{gathered}

Solve the system.

\begin{gathered} 2x+y=12 \\ y=12-2x \\ 3x+y=16 \\ y=16-3x \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} 12-2x=16-3x \\ 3x-2x=16-12 \\ x=4 \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} y=12-2x \\ y=12-2\cdot4 \\ y=12-8 \\ y=4 \end{gathered}

A small box costs $4 and a large box costs $4 too.
