Hulian is 14 years older than Thomas, the sum of their ages is 64. what is Thomas's age?

Answer 1

H=14+T H=Hullian's age, T=Thomas' age Hullian is 14 years older than Thomas

H+T=64 The sum of their ages = 64 years

14+T+T = 64 substitute 1st equation's value for H in terms of T into the 2nd equation

2T = 64-14 = 50 subtract 14 from both sides

T=50/2 = 25 divide by 2

H=14+25= 39 plug 25 into the equation for the sum of ages

H=39, T=25
