Question 1209778
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

**1. Define Variables**

* Let F be Flores' current age.
* Let R be Rivero's current age.

**2. Translate the First Sentence into an Equation**

* "Flores is 13 years younger than Rivero": F = R - 13

**3. Translate the Second Sentence into an Equation**

* "In 8 years":
    * Flores' age will be F + 8.
    * Rivero's age will be R + 8.
* "The sum of their ages will be 41": (F + 8) + (R + 8) = 41

**4. Simplify the Second Equation**

* F + 8 + R + 8 = 41
* F + R + 16 = 41
* F + R = 41 - 16
* F + R = 25

**5. Solve the System of Equations**

We have two equations:

* F = R - 13
* F + R = 25

Substitute the first equation into the second equation:

* (R - 13) + R = 25
* 2R - 13 = 25
* 2R = 25 + 13
* 2R = 38
* R = 19

Now, substitute R = 19 back into the first equation:

* F = 19 - 13
* F = 6

**6. Answer the Question**

We are asked to find Flores' age, which is F.

**Therefore, Flores is 6 years old.**
