Five years ago jerry was three times as old as shawn was then. in 14 years jerry will be 34 years more than shawns age. how old are they now?

J-5=3(s-5)

j-5=3s-15

j=3s-10...

j+14=s+14+34

j+14=s+48

j=s+34 and from earlier j=3s-10  and since j=j

3s-10=s+34

2s=44

s=22 and since j=s+34

j=56

So Shawn is 22 and Jerry is 56

This is what i found “an explicit formula designates the nth term of the sequence, as an expression of n (where n = the term's location). it defines the sequence as a formula in terms of n. this example is an arithmetic sequence(the same number, 5, is added to each term to get to the next term).” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?
