Answer:

Jiri is 12 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off we need to make an equation. Since we know both of their ages add up to 48 and that Pamela's age is 3 times Jiri's age we can say x(Jiri's Age) + 3x(Pamela's age) =48 --> x+3x=48

Now we have the equation x+3x=48, and we need to solve it.

First combine like terms

4x=48

Now divide both sides by 4

x=12

And now since we are using Jiri's age as x we know Jiri is 12 years old.
