Let j be the length of Jake's snake and p be length of Penny's snake.

We know that j + p = 70, and j = p + 12.

We can substitute the second equation into the first equation to get p + 12 + p = 70

Combining like terms, we get 2p + 12 = 70

Subtracting 12 from both sides, we get 2p = 58

Dividing both sides by 2, we get p = 58 / 2 = <<58/2=29>>29 inches.

Penny's snake is 29 inches.

Substituting that length in to the equation j = p + 12, we get j = 29 inches + 12 inches = <<29+12=41>>41 inches
