Tutor @josgarithmetic has been posting a lot of responses recently that are of no used to the student, since they do nothing to show the student HOW to get the answer.
In this problem, she shows the right final answer; but any work she shows is not related to finding that answer....
The man was 63 years old 2 years ago, so he is 63+2=65 now.
8 years from now, he will be 65+8=73.
He will be (x+10) years old when he is 73. So
x+10=73
x=73-10=63
