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:
OPTION D: NEITHER
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is: 7x - 2y = - 5
To find a solution to this, we substitute the options and compare LHS and RHS.
OPTION A: (1, 5)
LHS = 7(1) - 2(5) = 7 - 10 = -3
RHS = - 5
LHS
RHS.
So, this option is eliminated.
OPTION B: (-1, 1)
LHS = 7(-1) - 2(1) = -7 - 2 = - 9
RHS = - 5
Again, LHS
RHS.
So, this Option is eliminated as well.
OPTION C: It says both A and B. Clearly, this is eliminated as well.
Therefore, the answer is: OPTION D: NEITHER.
NOTE: This is a two variable equation. So, we need a minimum of two equations to determine the solution. Since, only one equation is given here, we use the help of options.
