Solution

The problem states that Jane will be y years old in 3 years. This means that Jane is currently y - 3 years old. If we want to find out how old she was 4 years ago, we would subtract 4 from her current age. Therefore, Jane was y - 3 - 4 = y - 7 years old 4 years ago. So, the answer is B𝑦−7.
