Let Liam's age= xMax's age= 25After two years Max's age= 25+2After two years Liam's age= x+2After two years Liam will be half of MAx's age,So-      [tex]x+2= \frac{25+2}{2} \\ x+2= \frac{27}{2} \\ x= \frac{27}{2} -2 \\ x=13.5-2 \\ x= 11.5 \\
Liams age= 11.5[/tex]Liam's age after 2 years= 11.5 + 2= 13.5Max's age after 2 years - 2713.5 is half of 27 answerHope I helped~!
