please solve it with steps too​

Answer 1

Answer:

according to the question let these numbers X and y

X-y = 12 equation first

X/y =3/4 equation second

4x=3y

X=3y/4

put the value of x in equation first

3y/4 - y = 12

-y/4= 12

-y =48

y= -48

put in equation first

X +48 = 12

X= 12-48

X= -36

so the integers are X = -36, y = -48
