Answer:

(2y + 22) years

Explanation:

kamau is now 2 years older than Jane if Janes age is y now what will be the total age in 10 years​.

Answer: If Jane is y years old now and Kamau is 2 years older than Jane, therefore the age of Kamau now would be 2 + y years.

In ten years time Jane age would be y + 10 years while the age of Kamau would be y + 2 + 10 = y + 12 years.

To get their total age we just have to add their individual age. Therefore the total age in 10 years​ = Age of Kamau in ten years + age of Jane in ten years = (y + 12) + (y + 10) = y + 12 + y + 10 = y + y + 12 + 10 = 2y + 22 years
