Answer:

Yes this could be true if there were 127 students taking algebra but not biology, and there were 77 students taking biology but not algebra

Explanation:

Not college math just simple subtraction?

Let
a be the amount of students taking only algebra

Let
b be the amount of students taking only biology.

212 - 85 - 25 =
a


a = 127

212 - 102 - 25 =
b


b = 77
