Answer: Jiri is 33 years old, and Pam is 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's put Jiri as x, and Pam as y. We know that Pam's and Jiri's age =52. Pam is 14 years younger than Jiri(x)

You can model the situation by two equations:

y=x-14

x+y=52

Substitute y into second equation

x+x-14=52

2x=66

x=33

Jiri is 33

and back to the first equation

y=33-14=19, Pamela's age.
