So. let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
whatever they're, we know a + b = 56
let's say the larger one is "b", so 3 times the smaller is 3*a or 3a
now, 12 less than that, is 3a - 12
and the larger is that, so b = 3a - 12
so

solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's b? well, b = 56 - a

Answer:
The value of the notebook at the end of 2013 is $980
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find 30% of 2,000. To do so you need to convert 30% into a decimal by dividing it by 100.
30% ⇒ 0.30
Now multiply 0.30 by 2,000 to find 30% of 2,000.
2,000 × 0.30 = 600
Subtract 600 from 2,000 to find the price of the notebook in 2013.
2,000 - 600 = 1,400
Now find 30% of 1,400 using the same process.
1,400 × 0.30 = 420
Subtract 420 from 1,400 to find the price of the notebook in 2014.
1,400 - 420 = 980
