1. Problem Description

The problem states that a man will be x+10x + 10 years old in 8 years. Also, 2 years ago, he was 63 years old. We need to find the value of xx.

2. Solution Steps

Let the man's current age be AA.
From the given information, we have two equations:
A+8=x+10A + 8 = x + 10
A2=63A - 2 = 63
From the second equation, we can find the current age:
A=63+2A = 63 + 2
A=65A = 65
Now substitute the value of AA in the first equation:
65+8=x+1065 + 8 = x + 10
73=x+1073 = x + 10
x=7310x = 73 - 10
x=63x = 63

3. Final Answer

The value of xx is
6

3. So the answer is B.
