    Max is "x"

    6 years ago, max was "x-6"

    2 less than 10 years old is: 10-2 = 8 years old.

    So in other words, 6 years ago, he was 8.

    This is represented as:

    x - 6 = 8

    Solve:

    x = 14

    Max was 14 years old.

    Max is 14 years old.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x - 6 = 10 - 2

    x - 6 = 8 - - - calculate 10 - 2

    x = 14 - - - add 6 to both sides to get x by itself
