A) 4x + 10
B) 10x + 4
C) x + 10
D) 4x - 10

Answer 1

John will be 4 times Ashley's age plus 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

To represent John's age in terms of Ashley's age, we can express it as 4 times Ashley's age, which is 4x. To find how old John will be in 10 years, we add 10 to his current age of 4x. Therefore, the expression to represent John's age in 10 years is 4x + 10.
