=> x + 2 = 2x - 10

=> 2x - x = 2 + 10

=> x = 12

Therefore the present age of Thomas is 12

Answer 2

Answer: x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Thomas's age be x.

Then,

2 + x = 2 ( x - 5 )

2 + x = 2x - 10

Adding 10 on both sides we get,

2 + x + 10 = 2x - 10 + 10

12 + x = 2x

Subtracting x on both sides we get,

12 + x - x = 2x - x

x = 12
