.
<pre>

Let x be the Jeff's age;  then the Gerald age is (x+2) years.


From the condition,

    x + (x+2) = 64.


It gives

    2x = 64 - 2 = 62

     x          = 62/2 = 31.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  Jeff is 31 years old.   Gerald is 31+2 = 33 years old.


<U>CHECK</U>.  The total age is  31 + 33 = 64 years.    ! Correct !
