Let y represent jarons age in years. If dawn were 5 years older, she would be jarons age. Which expression represents dawns age?

This is a simple subtraction question,

y is a variable, so Jaron could be any age and still be 5 years older than dawn.

lets say Jaron is 20, since he is five years older, we can subtract 5 from 20 and get 15

so

y = 20

d = 15

d = dawn's age
