Answer:

Kevin is 7 years old right now.

Explanation:

Let x be Kevin's age right now, that's what we're trying to find.

In 56 years, he'll be 9 times older than he is now, so we can say:

x + 56 = 9x

Now we can get the x values on the right side of the equation so that:

56 = 8x

Now solve for x and you have his current age which is 7.
