Answer:
Daughter age = x = 16 years old
Mother's age = 2x = 2 × 16 = 32 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of their current age is shown below:
Let us assume that the current age of the daughter is x
And, the current age of the mother be 2x
Now nine years ago, their ages would be
daughter age is x - 9
And, the mother age would be 2x - 9
Now the equation would be
x - 9 + 2x - 9 = 30
3x - 18 = 30
3x = 30 + 18
3x = 48
x = 48 ÷ 3
x = 16.
Therefore
Daughter age = x = 16 years old
Mother's age = 2x = 2 × 16 = 32 years
