Answer:
Jiri is 25 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
1)Pamela =Jiri-9 ( Pamela is 9 years younger than Jiri)
2)Pamela +Jiri=41
Substitute equation 1 into equation 2
(J-9)+J= 41
2J-9=41
Add 9 to both sides:
2J=41+9
Divide by 2:
2J=50
J=25
the required Jiri's age is 25 years.
Pamela is 9 years younger than Jiri and the sum of their ages is 41. What is Jiri's age is to be determined.
What is arithmetic?
In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.
Let the age of Pamela and Jiri is x and y respectively
Pamela is 9 years younger than Jiri. so,
y = x + 9 - - - - (1)
the sum of their ages is 41
x + y = 41 - - - - (2)
From equation 1 put y in equation 2
x + x + 9 = 41
2x + 9 = 41
2x = 41 - 9
2x = 32
x = 32/2
x = 16
Now put this x =16 in equation 1
y = 16 + 9
y = 25
Thus, the required Jiri age is 25 years
