Question

In six years I will be twice as old as I was four years ago. How old am I now ?

Answer 1

14 years old

Explanation:

Let's call your current age "x."

In six years, you will be x + 6 years old.

Four years ago, you were x - 4 years old.

According to the information provided, in six years, I will be twice as old as I were four years ago.

So, I can write the equation:

x + 6 = 2(x - 4)

Now, let's solve for x:

x + 6 = 2x - 8

Subtract x from both sides:

6 = x - 8

Add 8 to both sides:

x = 6 + 8

x = 14

So, I am currently 14 years old.
