Probably the description meant is, two numbers such that one of them is two times more than the other, and their product is 12.









2 and 6

Find two Numbers such that one of the numbers is more than two times the other is such that their product is equal to 12
------
n*m = 12
m > 2n
---
n*2n = 12
n^2 = 6

-----
--> n < sqrt(6) and m = 12/n

How this problem is literally posted, worded and presented, it violates the norms and the rules of the English language,

and, therefore, the post MAKES NO SENSE.

You force the tutors to guess the meaning of the problem, but it is NOT A WAY to present a Math problem.

So, if you really want to get some reasonable answer, then revise your post and re-submit it after revising.
