Step-by-step explanation:

So, we will take one of the numbers = x

And the other is 12 more than 3 times it, so = 3x + 12

So they said if we add them, we will get 4

So x + (3x + 12) = 4

4x + 12 = 4

4x = 4 - 12

4x = - 8

x = - 8 ÷4

x = - 2

So one of the numbers x = - 2

The other is 3x + 12

So x = - 2

3x +12 = 3(-2) + 12

= 6

So the 2 numbers = 6 and - 2

Lets check!

6 + (-2) = 4

So it's right!
