Let the two numbers be x and y. Then, according to the question, we have

x - y = 12.                                .........(1)

x + y = 72.                                .........(2)

Now, (1) + (2):

x = 30

Substituting the value of x = 30 in (1), we get

y = 42

Hence, 30 and 42 are the two numbers.
