The difference in the age between Ahmad and Liam remains unchanged.
Liam's current age = 1 u
Ahmad's current age = 1 u + 6
Combined age of Ahmad and Johny 14 years ago
= 1 u + 1 u + 6
= 2 u + 6
2 u + 6 = 54
2 u = 54 - 6
2 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 2 = 24
Ahmad's current age
= 1 u + 20
= 24 + 20
= 44
Answer(s): 44
