Answer:
30 years
Step-by-step explanation:
let the age of Ezekiel be x years
Given
Lily is 14 years older than her little brother Ezekiel
Age of Lily = x + 14 years
Next condition
after 8 years\
age of Ezekiel = x+8
age of Lily = x + 8 +14 = x + 22 years
Given
. In 8 years, Lily will be twice as old as Ezekiel will be then.
Thus,
x + 22 = 2(x+8)
=> x + 22 = 2x + 16
=> 22-16 = 2x -x
=> x = 6
Thus, age of Ezekiel = 8 years
age of lily = 8+14 = 22 years
sum of their age = 22 + 8 = 30 years answer.
