# 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
Since Raymond was born 6 years before Samantha, he is 6 years older than her.
Samantha is currently 31 years old, so Raymond's current age is 31 + 6 = 37 years old.
Raymond had his son when he was 23 years old. To find how many years ago the son was born, subtract Raymond's age at the time of the birth from his current age: 37 - 23 = 14.
Therefore, Raymond's son was born 14 years ago.
\boxed{14}
