Let William be x years old.
Thomas = (4 + x) years
In five years,
William = (x + 5) years
Thomas = 4 + x + 5 = (9 + x) years
Given, in five years sum of their ages is 24.
x + 5 + 9 + x = 24
2x + 14 = 24
2x = 24 - 14
2x = 10
x =
x = 5
Hence, William is 5 years old and Thomas is 9 years old.

Answer:
The other endpoint is (-33, 17)
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule of the mid-point of a segment whose endpoints are
(,
) and (
,
) is
In our question
∵ The coordinates of the endpoints of a segment are (-15, 13) and (x, y)
∴ = -15 and
= x
∴ = 13 and
= y
∵ The coordinates of the mid-point of this segment are (-24, 15)
∴ = -24 and
= 15
→ Use the rule of the mid-point to find x and y
∵
→ Multiply both sides by 2
∴ -48 = -15 + x
→ Add 15 to both sides
∴ -33 = x
∵
→ Multiply both sides by 2
∴ 30 = 13 + y
→ Subtract 13 from both sides
∴ 17 = y
∴ The other endpoint is (-33, 17)
