Answer:

The sum of their ages in 6 years time is (2x+20) years.

Explanation:

Given that,

Ethen is ‘x’ years old.

Raj is 8 years older than Ethen.

Raj's age = (x+8) years

We need to find the sum of their in 6 years.

After 6 years,

Ethen's age = (x+6) years

Raj's age = (x+8)+6

= (x+14) years

Sum of ages = (x+6) + (x+14)

= 2x+20

Hence, the required answer is (2x+20) years.
