Answer:

Ishaan is currently 15 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B represent Ben's current age and I represent Ishann's current age.

Ben is four times as old as Ishaan. In other words:

[tex]B=4I[/tex]

Six years ago, Ben was six times as old as Ishaan. In other words:

[tex]B-6=6(I-6)[/tex]

Solve for I. Substitute:

[tex](4I)-6=6(I-6)[/tex]

Distribute:

[tex]4I-6=6I-36[/tex]

Subtract 4I from both sides and add 36 to both sides:

[tex]2I=30[/tex]

And divide both sides by two. Hence:

[tex]I=15[/tex]

Ishaan is currently 15 years old.

Answer:

Age of Ishaan = 15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ishaan's age = x years

Age of Ben = 4 * x = 4x years

6Years ago:

Age of Ishaan = x - 6

Age of Ben = 4x - 6

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

So, Age of Ben = 6 * Ishaan's age

     4x - 6 = 6 *(x-6)

4x - 6 = 6x - 36

Add 36 to both sides

4x - 6 + 36  = 6x  

4x + 30 = 6x

Subtract '4x' from both sides

30 = 6x - 4x  

30 = 2x

2x = 30

Divide both by 2 sides

x = 30/2

x = 15
