Use J and R to represent how many stuffed animals Judy has and Ramey has, respectively.
We know that together they have a total of 42 stuffed animals. Therefore:
J + R = 42
We also know that Judy has 12 fewer than Ramey.
J = R - 12
(You have to make sure to get the order right on that: it is R - 12, not 12 - R).
Now you have 2 equations. Solve

42 divided by 2=21 , 21-12=9, 9+21=30,30+12=42
