Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ishan’s age equal an unknown quantity we’ll call “x”.

An age 4 times Ishan’s would be 4 times x, written “4x”.

An age 6 years older than Ishan’s would be written “x+6”.

Now, through the magic of algebra, we can write an equation: 4x = x+6 . This means that “four times Ishan’s age is equal to his age plus six.”

The magic continues: you can subtract an”x” from each side of the equation. You can subtract any quantity from either side, but subtracting”x” will leave 6 on the right and “3x” on the left: 3x = 6.

Divide both sides by the same quantity: 3.

This will give you x =2. This indicates Ishan’s age is 2.

Answer:

Ishaan is 2 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a systems of equations for this, assuming b is Ben's age and i is Ishaan's age.

[tex]b = 4i[/tex]

[tex]b = i+6[/tex]

Let's solve via substitution.

[tex]4i = i+6[/tex]

Subtract i from both sides:

[tex]3i = 6[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]i = 2[/tex]

So Ishaan is 2 years old. Ben is:

[tex]4(2) = 8[/tex] years old.

Hope this helped!
