Answer: mothers age = 45 years old

Explanation:

mothers age = 22 + x

daughters age= x

create the equation:

22 + x + x = 68

2x = 68 - 22

2x = 46

x = 23 (daughters age)

in order to get the mother's age you should add 22 to daughter's age (23) as they say the mother is 22 years older than the daughter

therefore: 22 + 23 = 45 years old

Answer:

her mother is 45 years old

Explanation:

daughter = n

mother = n + 22

n + n + 22 = 68

2n = 46

x = 23

n + 22 = 23 + 22 = 45
