Answer:

Jaime is _48_years old, and Savannah is _32_ years old.

Explanation:

Jaime is 16 years older than Savannah

Ten years ago, the sum of ages = 60.

(60-16)=22

Ten years ago, Jaime=22+16=38y but now Jaime is 48 (38+10)

Ten years ago, Savannah = 22y but now Savannah is 32y (22+10)

hope this helps
