Question

Scooter is 8 years older than Thomas the sum of their ages 66 what is Thomas age

Answer 1

Thomas is 58 years old

Answer 2

Let's assume

Thomas age is x years

we are given

Scooter is 8 years older than Thomas

so, we get

`Scooter=x+8`

now, we are given

Thomas age + Scooter age =66

so, we get

`x+x+8=66`

now, we can solve for x

`2x+8=66`

`2x=58`

`x=29`

so,

Thomas age is 29 years.........Answer
