# GSM8K Problem 22
Raymond and Samantha are cousins. Raymond was born 6 years before Samantha. Raymond had a son at the age of 23. If Samantha is now 31, how many years ago was Raymond's son born?
Reason step by step, then give ONLY the final answer on the last line as \boxed{ANSWER}.

Proposed solution
Let's reason through this step by step:
1. We know that Samantha is currently 31 years old.
2. Raymond was born 6 years before Samantha, so Raymond is 31 + 6 = 37 years old.
3. Raymond had his son at the age of 23.
4. To find out how many years ago Raymond's son was born, we subtract Raymond's age when he had his son from Raymond's current age: 37 - 23 = 14 years ago.
So, Raymond's son was born 14 years ago.
\boxed{14}
