Answer:

Age of Jorge is 13 years and his brother is 12 years.

Explanation:

Jorge is one year younger than his brother.

The sum of their ages is no less than 25 years.

Let the age of Jorge be x

Therefore, age of Jorge's brother = (x-1)

x + (x-1) > 25

2x - 1 > 25

2x > 25 + 1

2x > 26

x > 13

His brother = 13 - 1 = 12 years

Age of Jorge is 13 years and his brother is 12 years.
