Answer:

x + 14 = 2(x + 6)

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Algebra book age = x

Chemistry book age = x + 8

In 6 years time

Chemistry book age = x + 8 + 6

= x + 14

Algebra book age = x + 6

the chemistry book will be twice as old as the Algebra book.

x + 14 = 2(x+6)

x + 14 = 2x + 12

x - 2x = 12 - 14

- x = - 2

Divide both sides by -1

x = 2

Check:

Chemistry book age = x + 14

= 2 + 14

= 16

Algebra book age = x + 6

= 2 + 6

= 8
