Answer:

Jaime is 12 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use J for Jaime and A for Amy

J=A+5 since Jaime is 5 years older than Amy

J+A=19 because their age sum is 19

We can then make that A=19-J

Plug in that to our first equation

J=19-J+5

J=24-J

2J=24

J=12

Jaime is 12

Hope this helps
