Let x represent Harry's age now, and Nick's age now is 7x. [t] 
In 6 years, Harry is x + 6 , and it is given that Nick's age will be 5(x+6). [t+6] 

Combining [t] and [t+6], 7x + 6 = 5(x+6). 
So the formula 7x + 6 = 5(x+6) represents the problem.

And x = 12 , so Harry's age in 6 years will be x +6 or 18 years .

I hope this helps!
