Answer 9

two numbers let it be x and y

Answer 10

sum of these two terms is 12
x + y = 12

Answer 11

write it once not separately . :(

Answer 12

X+ Y = 12
3Y -x = 5
add both the equations
4Y = 17
Y = 17 / 4
X = 12 - Y = 12 - 17/4 = 31/4

Answer 13

a+b = 12
3b -a = 5

a = 12-b
3b -12+b = 5 => 4b = 17 => b = 17/4

a = 12-17/4 = 31/4
