    The numbers are: 2n and (2n+2)

    we can suggest this equation:

    4 (2n) = 2 (2n+2) - 12

    We compute this equation:

    8n=4n+4-12

    8n-4n=-8

    4n=-8

    n=-8/4

    n=-2

    we compute the numbers:

    2n=2 (-2) = - 4

    2n+2=-4+2=-2

    answer: the numbers are - 4 and - 2.
