Answer provided by our tutors
let
m = the age of the mother
d = the age of the daughter
mother is 11 years older than twice her daughters age
m = 11 + 2d
if the mother is 25 years older than her daughter how old is the daughter:
m = 25 + d
by solving the system of equations:
m = 11 + 2d
m = 25 + d
we find:
d = 14 years
m = 39 years
