Pamela is 13 years younger than Jiri. The sum of their ages is 37 what is jiris age

Answer 1

Here's what we know:

p + j = 37 (their ages added together is 37)

p = j - 13 (Pam is 13 years younger (less) than Jiri)

We have a value for Pam, so plug it in:

j -13 + j = 37

2j - 13 = 37

Add 13 to both sides:

2j = 50

Divide by 2:

j = 25

Now find Pamela's age:

p = 25 - 13

p = 12

check:

12 + 25 = 37

37 = 37
