Let's use j to represent Jiri's age.

If Pamela is 6 years younger that Jiri, her age can be represented by j - 6.

Since the sum of their ages is 64, we can setup the equation j + (j - 6) = 64.

Simplifying on the left, we have 2j - 6 = 64.

Adding 6 to both sides, we have 2j = 70.

Dividing both sides by 2, we have j = 35.

So Jiri is 35 years old and Pamela is 6 years younger or 29 years old.
