PLEASE HURRY!!!!!!

Huilan is 12 years older than Thomas. The sum of their ages is 66. What is Thomas's age?

Answer 1

Thomas age will be 27 yrs old.

Explanation:

Let the Thomas age be x

• Huilan is 12 yrs older than Thomas = x + 12
• The sum of their ages = 66

➛ x + 12 + x = 66

➛ 2x + 12 = 66

subtract 12 from 66

➛2x = 66 - 12

➛2x = 54

divide 2 from each side

➛ x = 54 / 2

➛ x = 27

• Huilan age = 27 + 12 = 39 yrs old
• Thomas age = 27 yrs old
