Let's assume

Thomas age is x years

we are given

Scooter is 8 years older than Thomas

so, we get

[tex] Scooter=x+8 [/tex]

now, we are given

Thomas age + Scooter age =66

so, we get

[tex] x+x+8=66 [/tex]

now, we can solve for x

[tex] 2x+8=66 [/tex]

[tex] 2x=58 [/tex]

[tex] x=29 [/tex]

so,

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