Ben is 4 times as old as Ishaan

and

6 years ago , Ben wad 6 times as old as Ishaan


Now

Let's assume that Ishaan is x years old now.

It means age of Ben = 4x


And 6 years ago , ben was 6 times as old as Ishaan

6 years ago , age of Ishaan = x-6

and age of ben = 4x-6

it means

4x-6 = 6(x-6)

4x-6 = 6x-36

add 6 to both sides

4x= 6x -30

Subtract 6x from both sides

-2x = -30

divide both sides by -2

x=15


It means Ishaan is 15 years old now
