HELP HAVING A BAD DAY Anna is x years old and her sister, Jane, is y years younger.
How old was Anna when her sister was born?

Explanation:

Let's use numbers in place of the variables

Let's say Anna is 25 years old and her sister Jane is 5 years younger.

This means Anna was 25-5 = 20 years old when Jane was born.

As another example:

Anna = 37 years old

Jane = 10 years younger

Anna was 37-10 = 27 when her sister was born

The examples show that all we do is subtract the x and y values to figure out how old Anna was when her sister was born.

For the first example, we basically did x-y = 25-5 = 20

The second example was x-y = 37-10 = 27

A variable is placeholder for a number. Think of it as a box where a single number will go inside.
