Let

x------> Jorge's age

y-----> Jorge's brother's age

we know that


x=y-1 -----> equation A


x+y \geq 25 -----> inequality B

substitute the equation A in the inequality B


[y-1]+y \geq 25


2y \geq 25+1


y \geq 13

The minimum value of y is equal to
13 years

therefore

the answer is

the youngest age Jorge's brother is
13 years
