Let the smaller number be x

74 = x +

The larger number is 12 more than x, therefore, it is equal to x + 12

74 = x + x + 12

Add like terms.

74 = 2x + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides to eliminate it. (Property of equality)

74 - 12 = 2x + 12 - 12
62 = 2x

Divide 2 on both sides to isolate x.

62 / 2 = 2x / 2
31 = x

Therefore the two numbers would be

31 and 31 + 12

31 and 43.
