Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jiri's age be x

Let Pamela's age be (x - 10)

The sum of their ages becomes

x + (x - 10) = 70

x + x - 10 = 70

2x - 10 = 70

2x =70+10

2x = 80

x = 40

Therefore, it means that Jiri's age is 40

Pamela's age is 40-10= 30

Answer:

Pamela = 30

Jiri = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Two equations needed:

J-10 = P

P+J = 70

Plug and solve:

(J-10) + J = 70

2J - 10 =70

2J = 80

J = 40

40 - 10 = P

P=30
