I have followed Cosmology books of Scott Dodelson and Barbara Ryden and to a little extent Loeb's book of "How did the first stars and galaxies form?" You can look them up for details. Always feel free to ask if you re stuck anywhere.
As nothing is mentioned about Dark energy, I have assumed that in this model universe it is absent.
Because ,
The universe in this model is flat
is the equation of state of any component in the universe. For non-relativistic matter (as considered in the model here),
is the energy of the component with equation of state described by
Fluid equation,
Substituting for and integrating,
is the current energy density of the th component
For a flat universe, with Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric gives:
Here summation is over all the components of the universe in the model
For a flat single component universe,
Let
You can go ahead and substitute this in the Ordinary Differential equation above to get
and
Conformal time
Now coming to matter dominated universe as described in the question,
and
Age of the universe is
Current value of Hubble Constant is
Age comes around billion years
Conformal time
I have used the value of found previously
byr means billion years
Conformal time is
Proper distance of the galaxy is speed of light times Conformal time
So the Galaxy is 14.4 billion light years away.
EXTRA:
You can go ahead and try to show that for a matter dominated universe
