your current age = 56
half that current age = 56/2 = 28
your brother was 28 when you were 7
The gap from 7 to 56 is 56-7 = 49 years
Add 49 years to your brother's past age to get his current age
28+49 = 77

When you were 7, your brother was half your current age, which is 56. So when you were 7 your brother was 28. That makes your brother 28-7 = 21 years older than you, so his current age is 56+21 = 77.
ANSWER: 77

AGE DIFFERENCE, 21 years.
Brother is older.
Your brother's age is 56+21=77.
