A boy, m
His brother, n

system%28m=n%2B10%2Cm%2B4=2%28n%2B4%29%29


m%2B4=2n%2B8
m-2n=4
-
n%2B10-2n=4
-n=4-10
n=6

You find m and figure out the percents.

The question is incorrect.

There is no such a term "the percentage age of each".

It is unknown term in the Math, including the school math.

Re-edit and resubmit, if you want to get an answer.
