Answer:

A

Explanation:

Kavita is x years old, so 10 years later, her age will be x years plus the next ten. Or, x + 10.

To check this, let's suppose Kavita is 17 years old. In 10 years, she'll be 27.

Substitute the x for our hypothetical age, 17, and our answer, 27, and calculate.

x + 10 = 27

17 + 10 = 27

27 = 27

The equation is true, so we have a true statement. The answer is A, x + 10.

Good luck :)
