let A = anthony's age now.
let E = eze's age now.

A/E = 4/3

anthony will be 26 in 6 years.
that means that anthony is 20 now.
therefore A = 20

A/E = 4/3 = 20/E

cross multiply 4/3 = 20/E to get 4E = 20*3

simplify to get 4E = 60

divide both sides of the equation by 4 to get E = 60/4 = 15

A/E = 4/3

20/15 = 4/3

solution is good.

Eze is 15 years old now.

Anthony will be 26 in 6 years' time, so he's now 20.
We then get: , with E being Eze's current age.
Solve for E, which is OBVIOUSLY 15.
That's ALL!!
