Answer:

69 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of Alex's and Ben's current age

= 14 +17

= 31 years

For every year, Alex and Ben will each be one year older. Thus, 2 years would be added to the sum of their ages with each passing year.

Difference in the sum of their ages

= 169 -31

= 138 years

Number of sets of 2 years

= 138 ÷2

= 69

Thus, the sum of their ages will be 169 in 69 years.
