Pamela‘s age is two times Jerry’s age. The sum of their ages is 30 what is Jerry’s age?

Answer 1

Let's say Jerry's age is x.
Therefore, Pamela's age is 2x.
The sum of their ages is x + 2x = 30.
Combining like terms, we get 3x = 30.
Dividing both sides by 3, we get x = 10.
Therefore, Jerry is 10 years old.
