Jill is 11 years younger than Pete. The sum of their ages is 29. What’s the age of Pete.

Answer :

Answer:

The sum of their ages is 29, which we can express as the equation:

P + (P - 11) = 29

Simplifying the equation:

2P - 11 = 29

Adding 11 to both sides:

2P = 40

Dividing both sides by 2:

P = 20

Therefore, Pete's age, represented by "P," is 20 years old.
