  • 12 :

[tex]12 + 2 \times 12 + 5 = 41 \ne62[/tex]

  • 15 :

[tex]15 + 2 \times 15 + 5 = 50 \ne62[/tex]

  • 18 :

[tex]18 + 2 \times 18 \ + 5 = 59 \ne62[/tex]

  • 19 :

[tex]19 + 2 \times19 + 5 = 62[/tex]

The value that holds true for the equation is 19. So, Jenny is 19 years old and her mother is 43 years old.
