Answer 2

Answer:

2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Daniel = x years

It is given that Kevin is 4 times as old as Daniel.

=> Age of Kevin = 4 * x

But Kevin is also 6 years older than Daniel.

=> $\[4*x = x+6\]$

Solving the equation,

$\[4x - x = 6\]$

$\[=> 3x = 6\]$

$\[=> x = \frac{6}{3}\]$

$\[=> x = 2\]$

So the age of Daniel is 2 years while the age of Kevin is 8 years.
