Answer:

Jordan age = 31 years

Anna age = 19 years

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
