Let us say the two numbers are x and y and x>y.
The data we have are;
Difference between the numbers are 12.
3 times larger number is equal to 7 times smaller number.
Then we can write;
 ----(1)
 ----(2)
From (1) we can say 
Then substituting  to (2) gives;




Then;


Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
This is no solution due to the fact that the slope of both of the equation are the same. So they are parallel. If the b value is the same then it is infinitely many solutions. Due to the fact that the b value is not the same they are a set of parallel line. Parallel line do not touch or intersect ever so there for this is a no solution set.
Answer:
The table is show clearly in the figure attached.
P(boy if favourite activity is swimming) = 8/17 = 0.47
P(girl if favourite activity is sport) = 7/27 = 0.26
P(girl if favourite activity is reading) = 4/6 = 0.67
P(boy if favourite activity is sport) = 20/27 = 0.74
P(favourite activity is swimming if a girl) = 9/20 = 0.45
P(favourite activity is reading if a boy) = 2/30 = 0.07
P(favourite activity is swimming if a boy) = 8/30 = 0.27
P(favourite activity is reading if a girl) = 4/20 = 0.2
If 25% is 80, 100% is 320. 60% of 320 is 192.
