Two days after four days before yesterday was January 4th . What is the date today?

Answer 1

Let's solve the problem step by step.

1. Identify "yesterday":

   • We know that "yesterday" is the day before today.

2. Find "four days before yesterday":

   • If yesterday is \(X\), then four days before yesterday is \(X - 4\).

3. Find "two days after four days before yesterday":

   • Two days after \(X - 4\) is \(X - 4 + 2 = X - 2\).

4. According to the problem:

   • We have \(X - 2\) = January 4th.

5. Solve for \(X\):

   • Adding 2 days to January 4th gives us: \[ X = \text{January 4th} + 2 \text{ days} = \text{January 6th}. \]

So, today is January 6th.
