B Correct answer
Explanation

Let father's age be y and son's age be x. 'Twice the age of son' is 2x. 'Ten more than' means adding 10. Thus, y = 2x + 10.

AI explanation

Let y represent the father's age and x represent the son's age. Twice the son's age is written as 2x. Adding ten to this gives the expression 2x + 10. Therefore, the equation that represents the father's age is y = 2x + 10.
