Question 895658
if the sum of the ages of 2 friends is 92 and one is 6 years older.  How old are they?  I tried x+6x=92  
                  7x=92
                   x=13.?
-------------
He's not 6 times as old, so it's not 6x.  but you did try something.
Most just say "what is..."
---
Try x + (x+6) = 92
