Best Answer

Let Pamela's age be "p", and Jiri's age be "j". We are told:

p = j + 7

p + j = 61

You can take the first equation, and "plug" it into the second one:

∴ (j + 7) + j = 61

∴ 2j = 54

∴ j = 27

So Jiri is 27 years old.

If we want to, we can take that value, and use it to calculate Pamela's age:

p = j + 7

∴ p = 27 + 7

∴ p = 34

So Pamela is 34 years old.
