let it be x years ago,
then, 7(20-x)= (80-x)
140-7x= 80-x
-7x +x= 80 -140
-6x= -60
6x= 60
x = 10
hence,10 years ago is the answer

Answer:
10 years ago Sonu's Grandmother was seven times as old as him.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x years ago, Sonu's Grandmother was seven times as old as him.
Current Age of Sonu = 20
Current Age of Sonu's Grandmother = 80
x years ago,
Sonu's Age = 20 - x
Sonu's Grandmother Age = 80 - x
According to question;
80 - x = 7(20 - x)
80 - x = 140 - 7x
7x - x = 140 - 80
6x = 60
x = 10
Therefore, 10 years ago Sonu's Grandmother was seven times as old as him.
