Claire Terrell · Answer 1

Jiri is 27

Solution-

Pamela is X-13 years old

Jiri is X years old

So X+X-13=41

2X+13+13

2X=54

X=27

Check Answer-

Jiri - 27

Pamela - 27-13 = 14

So Pamela is 14

14+27=41

Hunter Friedman · Answer 2

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Pamela is 13 years younger than Jiri and the sum of their ages is 41, therefore (x=Jiri's age) (x-13) + x = 41) 2x-13=41 x=14. Pamela is 14 and Jiri is 27
