Answer:

jed is 11

jan is 8

I think

Explanation:

I look at the first sentence-- the last person mentioned in the sentence is jed. So I use X for jed.

Jan's age is 3 less than twice jed age===== 2x-3

then it tells us that the sum of the jed and Jans age is 30

the equation looks like this:

x+2x-3=30

3x-3=30

3x=33

x=11

jed is 11
