they both mean the same thing , though by the age of 6 is usually used more for an accomplishment . for example by the age of 6 he knew how to ride a bike. by the age of 6 sounds more intelligent and exciting.
A different answer: "By the age of six" means at any age up to and including six, while "At the age of six" means only during that one year.

On my last birthday my friend said to me In 15 years time your age will be the square of your age 15 years ago Can you work out how old I am?
Age=21! 21 - 15 = 6 6 x 6 = 36 21 + 15 = 36 Age=21
What is the age of Anita now when the square of Anita's age 6 years ago is equal to her age in 6 years time showing work?
Let Anita's age now be x If: (x-6)^2 = x+6 => x^2-12x+36 = x+6 => x^2-13x+30 = 0 Solving the above quadratic equation: x = 3 or x = 10 Therefore Anita's age now must be 10 years of age
The present age difference between the father and son is 26 years before 6 yrs fathers age was twice the age of the sons age and sons age was half the fathers age what are the present ages?
6 years ago, they were 26 and 52.Now they're 32 and 58.
2 you are currently 5 times as old as your son In 6 years time you will be three times as old as he will be then What are your ages?
If x is the age of the son, then 5x would be the age of the father. In 6 years, the son would be x + 6 years old, where the father would be 3(x + 6) years old. Since the original age of the father is 5x, then in 6 years the father could also be said to be 5x + 6 years old. Setting these two expressions for the father's age as an equation, we then can solve for x, the son's age. 3(x + 6) = 5x +6 3x + 18 = 5x + 6 2x = 12 x = 6 The original age of the son is 6 and of the father (5x) is 30 years old. In 6 years, the son would be 12 and the father would be [3x + 18 or 5x + 6] 36 years old.
What times what equals your age?
11.5 times 6 .
