Question

Ben is 4 times as old as ishaan. 666 years ago, ben was 6 times as old as ishaan. how old is ishaan now?

Answer 1

Assuming that 666 is supposed to be 6, here is how we would solve the problem:

We can set up a system of equations to describe the situation using b for Ben's age and i for Ishaan's age:

b = 4i

(b - 6) = 6(i - 6)

Simplify the second equation:

b - 6 = 6i - 36

b = 6i - 30

Now we have two equations solved for b. We can set them equal to each other to solve for Ishaan's age:

4i = 6i - 30

-2i = -30

2i = 30

i = 15

Ishaan is 15 years old.
