Answer:
Jordan age = 31 years
Anna age = 19 years
Step-by-step explanation:
let Jordan age be X & Anna age be Y
so,
Jordan is 12 years older than Anna.
x = y + 12 ......... (1)
The sum of their ages is 50.
x + y = 50 ........ (2)
putting value of x from (1) into (2)
x + y = 50
(y + 12) + y = 50
2y + 12 = 50
2y = 50 - 12
2y = 38
y = 38÷2
y = 19
putting value of y in (2)
x + y = 50
x + 19 = 50
x = 50 - 19
x = 31
so,
Jordan age = 31 years
Anna age = 19 years
