Answer:

6 years

Explanation:

Let x be the year that Dianne is 5 times older than her daughter, which is also her daughter's age.

So Dianne's age would be 5x

But Dianne is also 24 years older than her daughter

so 5x = x + 24

We can solve this equation for x

4x = 24

x = 6

After 6 years, Dianne will be 30 years old, and her daughter will be 6 years old.
