The product of Tom's age in years, and half of Jerry's age in years, is 54. If Jerry is 3 years younger than Tom is, Jerry is how many years old?

A. 6
B. 8
C. 9
D. 10
E. 12


We can just Plug In The Answers (PITA). I like trying B or D first...D looks easier to work with.

D: J=10, so T=13. T*(J/2) = 13*5 = 65. That's 11 too big.

B: J=8, so T=11. T*(J/2) = 11*4 = 44. That's 10 too small.

We need something in between those two.

Answer choice C.
