    Let x be the unknown number and let's set up an equation.

    12x - x = 143

    Now solve for x:

    11x = 143

    x = 13

    The positive number is 13.

    Let x is one positive number

    One positive number is 12 times another positive number 12x

    12x - x = 143

    11x = 143

    x = 143/11

    x = 13

    12x = 12 (13) = 156

    answer: 2 numbers are 13 and 156

    double check:

    difference between the two numbers is 143

    156 - 13 = 143
