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
