Answer:

younger sibling = 29 years

older sibling = 35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = younger sibling

y = older sibling

x + y = 64 (1)

The older sibling was born 6 years before their young sibling

x = y - 6 (2)

Substitute x = y - 6 into (1)

x + y = 64

y - 6 + y = 64

2y = 64 + 6

2y = 70

y = 70/2

y = 35 years

Substitute y = 35 into (2)

x = y - 6

x = 35 - 6

x = 29 years

\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\&#10;I = Prt\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;I=\textit{interest earned}\to &\$2\\&#10;P=\textit{original amount}\to& \$25\\&#10;r=rate \\&#10;t=years\to &\frac{1}{2}&#10;\end{cases}

bearing in mind, "t" is in years, 6months is just 1/2 year

solve for "r", you'd get a decimal amount, multiply times 100, to get the percentage form
