"Myra is 5 years younger than her sister Talat" as an equation should be written as: B. m = t - 5.

The types of variables.

In an experiment, there are two (2) main types of variables and these include:

  • Dependent variable.
  • Independent variable.

What is an independent variable?

An independent variable can be defined as the variable that is being manipulated by an experimenter or researcher. This ultimately implies that, an independent variable is typically considered to be the cause in an experiment and mostly represented by x.

  • Let m represent the age of Myra in years.
  • Let t represent the age of Talat in years.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

m = t - 5

In conclusion, "Myra is 5 years younger than her sister Talat" as an equation should be written as m = t - 5.
