Mary is 8 years old based on the relationship in ages between Tom, Mary, and Jim, where simple algebra is used to determine her age. ;

Mary is 8 years old based on the relationships presented between her age and the ages of Tom and Jim. By using simple algebra, we first determined Jim's age, then found Tom's age, and finally calculated Mary's age. This step-by-step approach led us to the conclusion that Mary is 8 years old.
