In 565656 years Daniel will be 555 times as old as he's right now how old is he right now

Let x be his current age.
"In 565656 years" can be represented by the expression x+565656.
"Will be 555 times as old as he's right now" can be represented bas the expression 555x.
The whole question means that the age of Daniel in 565656 years will be 555 times his age now so x+565656 = 555x.
Solving this equation will find x, so his current age.
x+565656 = 555x
You subtract an x of each side, to have variables on a side, and numbers on an other:
565656 = 555x - x
565656 = 554x
You divide each side by 554
x = 1021.

So Daniel is currently 1021 years old.
