I am 8 years older than my brother. Twenty years ago, the sum of our ages was 20. What will be the sum of our ages 15 years from now?

If 20 years ago, the sum of their ages was 20, and today they are both 20 years older, no matter what age they are specifically, they will sum to 60. In 15 years, they are each 15 years older, which we must also add to find that in 15 years, the sum of their ages is 9 0 .
