    Let's set up an equation:

    x plus y is greater than 12

    x + y > 12

    One of the integers is ten less than twice the other one

    x = 2y - 10

    Time to start solving:

    (2y-10) + y > 12

    2y + y > 12 + 10

    3y > 22

    3y=24

    y=8

    Now its time to find the value of x:

    x=2 (8) - 10

    x=16-10

    x = 6

    6 + 8 > 12, 6+8 is greater than twelve.

    In conclusion we can wrap up that 6 and 8 are the least value integers.
