\huge\text{Hey there!}



\text{If John is currently 9 years old and we’re trying to figure out how old he will be}\\\text{in 20 years.}



\text{Let us label your equation to:}


\text{9 - a = 20 OR BETTER YET a - 9 = 20; your “a”-value will be labeled as}\\\text{John future age.}


\textsf{Equation:}


\mathsf{a - 9 = 20}


\textsf{ADD 9 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{a - 9 + 9 = 20 + 9}


\textsf{SIMPLIFY IT}


\mathsf{a = 20 + 9}


\mathsf{a = 29}



\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be:}


\huge\boxed{\mathsf{John\ will \ be \ \boxed{\mathsf{29}} \ years \ old}}\huge\checkmark



\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
