Answer:

Answer: Janet is 16, and David is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages be j and d.

j = d + 5

j + d = 27

Substitute d + 5 for j in the second equation.

d + 5 + d = 27

2d + 5 = 27

2d = 22

d = 11

Substitute 11 for d in the first equation.

j = d + 5

j = 11 + 5

j = 16

Answer: Janet is 16, and David is 11.
