Answer:

7 seconds that Hannah runs on the side walk

Step-by-step explanation:

let's A is the second that Hannah runs on the side walk.
and B is the second that Hannah runss on the cross street. Base on the information we have 2 equations for 2 unknowns .
A + B = 12
16 A + 3 B =  127  simply to add/subtract column we have
=> 16A + 3B  = 127 (1)
      3A + 3B = 36  (2)  runs on the side walk.
And 12-7 =5 seconds is the time that Hannah runs on the cross street.
