Let x be the age of his Brother

Therefore, John's Age will be

y = 6 + x (first equation)

In 4 years

y + 4 = 2(x + 4) (second equation)

Now let's substitute the value of y from the first equation to the second equation

(6 + x) + 4 = 2(x + 4)

Add 6 and 4; Multiply 2 to x + 4

10 + x = 2x + 8

Transpose x and 8

10 - 8 = 2x - x

Therefore the age of his brother is

x = 2

Now let's substitute the value of x to the first equation

y = 6 + 2

Therefore John's age is

y = 8

Now let us check if adding 4 to both will make John's age twice as his brother

after 4 years

x = 2 + 4

x = 6

---

y = 8 + 4

y = 12

12 is twice as 6. Therefore it is correct.

I hope it helps
