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;


When the difference between one and two numbers is two, the two numbers are -10 and -12.
Given that,
The difference between one and two numbers is two. Twelve more than six times the second is four times the first.
We have to find the number.
We know that,
The system of equation we get
x=y-2 ----->equation(1)
4x=12+6y ----->equation(2)
Substitute for x in the equation(2)
4(y-2)=12+6y
4y-8=12+6y
4y-6y=12+8
-2y=20
y=-10
Substitute y=-10 in equation(1)
x=-10-2
x=-12
Therefore, The two numbers area -10 and -12 when the difference between one and two numbers is two.
