In k+1 years from now John will be m years old
So, m - (k + 1) = John's PRESENT age

How old was John t-1 years ago?
So, m - (k + 1) - (t - 1) = John's age (t-1) YEARS AGO

Simplify m - (k + 1) - (t - 1) to get: m - k - t

Answer: A

We can let J = John's current age, and we have:

J + k + 1 = m

J = m - k - 1

Thus, t - 1 years ago John was J - (t - 1) = m - k - 1 - t + 1 = m - k - t years old.
