We need to determine the equations that represents the following phrase "Bobby is 10 years younger than her sister Amy". The first step is to assign the variable "x" to Bobby's age and "y" to Amy's age. Then we need to represent Bobby's age on the left side of the equation, since Bobby is younger Amy's age "minus" 10 should be equal to Bobby's. This is shown below:


x=y-10

The correct option is the second one.
