The sum of a mother’s age and her daughter’s age is 46 years. The mother is 16 years older than quadruple the daughter’s age. How old is the daughter?

Answer:

15

Explanation:

So u do 46 - 16 and then divide it by 2 because the mother is 16 years older so u minus 16 from 46 and then divide it by 2 because the daughter is half of 46-16.

Hope that helps!
