Answer:

Micheal is 14

Explanation:

First you need to minus the 25 from 53 to see how old they both are without the age difference, 53-25=28. Since we are looking at 2 people, we need to divide this number by 2. From this we get 14. Now 14+25=39. So we can prove that our answer is valid. Ergo, Micheal's age is 14.
