John's present age --- x
Uncle's present age ---- 6x
in 4 year's time:
John will be x+4
Uncle's age will be 6x + 4
6x+4 = 4(x+4)
6x+4 = 4x + 16
2x = 12
x = 6
John is now 6 and the uncle is now 36
in 6 years time the uncle will be 42
uncle's in 6 years time = 6x+6
Uncle's present age ---- 6x
in 4 year's time:
John will be x+4
Uncle's age will be 6x + 4
6x+4 = 4(x+4)
6x+4 = 4x + 16
2x = 12
x = 6
John is now 6 and the uncle is now 36
in 6 years time the uncle will be 42
uncle's in 6 years time = 6x+6
