Answer:

21 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jiri's age be x years, then Pamela's age is x - 6 years.

The sum is 36 so we have the equation:

x + x - 6 = 36

2x = 36 + 6 = 42

x = 42/2 = 21.

Solve for x. 2=4x-6

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation as 4x - 6 = 2

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation:

Add 6 to both sides of the equation.

4x = 2 + 6

Add 2 and 6.

4x = 8

Divide each term by 4 and simplify.

Divide each term in 4x = 8 by 4.

$\frac{4x}{4} =\frac{8}{4}$

Reduce the expression by cancelling the common factors.

$x=\frac{8}{4}$

Divide 8 by 4.

x = 2
