Explanation

Father's age (F) is 10 more than twice the son's age (S). This translates to F = 2S + 10.

AI explanation

Let the father's age be F and the son's age be S. Twice the son's age is 2S, and 10 more than this amount is 2S + 10. Setting this equal to the father's age gives the linear equation F = 2S + 10.
