Its impossible there is no way to solve it because x+3.5= y no number can make 12 if one number is 3.5 ft longer than the other Ignore this i dont feel like erasing this part.

144 in. 42 in. greater than the other 42 + x = y Nvm if you convert the numbers too in. the numbers are 93 + 51 = 144 and if you convert it back it would be

7.75 + 4.25 = 12
