Suppose you observe a distant galaxy with a lookback time of 8 billion years.

What was the maximum possible age for that galaxy when the light we are now observing from it began its journey to Earth? (Hint: Assume the galaxy was born less than a billion years after the Big Bang.)

I did 13.7 - 8 = 5.7 but it says not quite? Some help.
