Let Liam's age= x
Max's age= 25
After two years Max's age= 25+2
After two years Liam's age= x+2
After 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= 13.5
Max's age after 2 years - 27
13.5 is half of 27 answer

Hope I helped~!
