    X = age of julia

    2x = age of Wendy

    10x = age of dad (because dad is five times as old as Wendy)

    (x+4) * 6=10x+4 (because in four years, that's why I added 4 to both sides, dad's age will be now 10x+4 and Julia's age x+4, now dad is 6 times as old and I multiplied Julia's age by six) = = > 6x+24=10x+4, now subtract 4 from both sides:

    6x+20=10x, let's subtract 6x from both sides

    20=4x = = > x=5

    because age of father is 10x, we substitute x value and we get

    10*5=50
