Answer 2

Answer:

1. Erica's age 5 years from now is y + 5 years.

2. Erica's age 2 years ago is y - 2 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the present age of Erica = y years.

1. We need to find her age 5 years from now.

We know her age 5 years from now = Her present age + 5 years

                                                             = y + 5

Therefore, Erica's age 5 years from now is y + 5 years.

2. We need to find her age 2 years ago.

We know her age 2 years ago = Her present age - 2 years

                                                   = y - 2

Therefore, Erica's age 2 years ago is y - 2 years.
