Question 1185457
<br>
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.<br>
In this problem, she shows the right final answer; but any work she shows is not related to finding that answer....<br>
The man was 63 years old 2 years ago, so he is 63+2=65 now.<br>
8 years from now, he will be 65+8=73.<br>
He will be (x+10) years old when he is 73.  So<br>
x+10=73
x=73-10=63<br>
