Hello.

In 10 years, his age will be


\mathrm{z+10}

The sum of his current age and 10 equals his age in 10 years.

2 years ago his age was


\mathrm{z-2}

The difference of his current age and 2 equals his age 2 years ago.

7 years ago his age was


\mathrm{z-7}

The difference of his current age and 7 equals his age 7 years ago.

Therefore, his age after 10 years will be
\mathrm{z+10}, his age 2 years ago was
\mathrm{z-2}, and his age 7 years ago was
\mathrm{z-7}

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
