Answer:

17 years old

Solutions:

Let: x - be Juan's age in 1989

then,

x + 1 - will be Juan's age in 1990

Given: 19xy

           x - y - 6 = 0

Solve for x in terms of y.

x - y - 6 = 0

x - y - 6 + 6 = 0 + 6

x - y = 6

x = 6 + y

Substitute x = 6 + y on the equation.

x - y - 6 = 0

(6 + y) - y - 6 + 6 = 0 + 6

6 + y - y - 6 + 6 = 6

y - y = 6 - 6

y = 0

Solve for x.

x - y - 6 = 0

x - 0 - 6 + 6 = 0 + 6

x = 6

Place the values of x and y in 19xy.

1960

Add the digits of year 1960.

1 + 9 + 6 + 0 = 16

Therefore, Juan's age in 1989 is 16.

Find his age in 1990.

x + 1 = Juan's age in 1990

16 + 1 = Juan's age in 1990

17 = Juan's age in 1990

Therefore, Juan is 17 years old in 1990.
