Answer:

Thomas is 24 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas's age: t

Hulian's age: 3t

Equation:

t + 3t = 96

4t = 96

t = 24 yrs (Thomas's age)

:)

The age of Thomas is 24 years old

Solution:

Given that , Huilan's age is three times age of Thomas's .  

The sum of their ages is 96

We have to find what is Thomas's age?

Now, let the age of Thomas be n years, then the age of Huilan will be three times = 3 x n = 3n years

And now, sum of ages = 96

n + 3n = 96

4n = 96

n = 24

Hence, the age of Thomas is 24 years old
