<pre>

Let x be Max's age.


2 years ago his age was (x-2) years.


Then from the condition, you have this equation


    (x-2) - 12 = {{{x/2}}}.


Simplify and solve for x


    x - 14 = {{{x/2}}}

    2x - 2*14 = x

    2x - x = 28

     x     = 28.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  Max's current age is 28 years.
