Jayme =>m1 = 40 kg, v1 = 4 m/s, North
Antony =>m2 = 65 kg, v2 = 12 m/s South
Jayme + Antony => mf =105 kg, vf =?

This is a question of conservation of momentum. Therefore;

m1v1 + m2v2 = mfvf
Substituting;
40*4 + 65*12 = 105*vf
160 + 780 = 105vf
940 = 105vf
vf = 940/105 = 8.95 m/s

The velocity of Jayme and Antony skating together will be 8.95 m/s.
