    Let x be the age of Ben and y be the age of Ishaan.

    x = 4y ... Equation (1)

    x = y + 6 ... Equation (2)

    Subtract the 2 equations

    (1) - (2) : x-x = 4y - (y + 6)

    0 = 4y - y - 6

    0 = 3y - 6

    3y = 6

    y = 2

    So Ishaan is 2 years old

    Substitute y = 2 in equation (1)

    x = 4 (2)

    x = 8

    So Ben is 8 years old and Ishaan is 2 years old.
