Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Jacks age: x-14
Jack's brothers age: x
In 6 years time:
Jack's age: x-8
Jack's brother's age: x + 6
Given that:
x+6 = 2(x-8)
Simplify:
x+6 = 2x-16
x+22 = 2x
2x = x+22
x = 22
we mentioned earlier that Jack's brother's age was x. but Jack's age was x-14.
So, Jack's age: 22-14 = 8
Hope this helps.
Good Luck
