    Step-by-step explanation:

    let Ben age = x

    ishaan age = y

    Ben is 4 times old as ishaan:

    x=4y ... equation (1)

    6 years ago

    Ben age = x-6

    Ishaan age = y-6

    x-6=6 (y-6)

    x-6=6y-36

    x=6y-36+6

    x=6y-30 ... equation (2)

    equating equation (1) and (2)

    4y=6y-30

    4y-6y=-30

    -2y=-30

    y=-30/-2=15

    substituting the value of y into equation (1)

    x=4y

    =4*15

    =60

    Ben age now = 60years
