Jerry's mother is 36 years old and she is eleven less than four times Jerry's age. how old is Jerry?

Jerry is 11.75 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first set up an equation

Let jerry's age be x

4x - 11 = 36 (equation set)

Now we need to slove the equation and find the value of x that is Jerry's age

4x - 11 = 36

Transpose

4x = 36 + 11

4x = 47

x = 47 ÷ 4

x = 11.75 years

Jerry is 11.75 years
