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.

Answer:

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
