52÷2=26

26+7=33

So therefore Thomas is 33 years old

Answer 2

Answer:

33 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve it using mathematical assumptions.

First, let's assume THOMAS age to be x

Therefore, Huilan's age would be (x-7)

The sum of their ages would be:

x + (x - 7).

From the question, the sum of their ages equals 59.

The expression becomes:

x + (x - 7) = 59

x + x - 7 = 59

2x - 7 = 59

2x = 59 + 7

2x = 66

x = 66/2

x = 33.

It means that, THOMAS'S AGE is 33 years.

Huilan's age will then be 33-7 = 26years
