Answer:

Mr. Gill is 44

Mr. Morgan is 52

Explanation:

In seven years the sum of their ages will be 110, which means that you have to subtract 14 years from 110 given that it is the sum of both of their ages. Then you have to subtract the 8 years ahead that Mr. Morgan has. This makes 88 years. Then you divide the 88 in half which gives you 44, which is the age of Mr. Gill. Then you take the remaining 44 and add 8 to it, which makes 52. This is why Mr. Morgan is 52 and Mr. Gill is 44.
