    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's Jiri's age be "J" and Pamela's age be "P".

    P = 9 + J (Pamela is 9 years older than Jiri.) ... equation 1

    P + J = 107 (the sum of their ages is 107) ... equation 2

    Put equation 1 into equation 2:

    (9+J) + J = 109

    9 + 2J = 109

    2J = 109 - 9

    2J = 100

    J = 100/2

    J = 50

    Therefore, Jiri's age is 50.
