Answer:
84 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
At present :
Let :
daughter’s age = x
Woman’s age = 2x
21 years ago :
Woman’s age = 3 times daughter’s age
2x – 21 = 3(x – 21)
2x – 21 = 3x – 63
-21 + 63 = 3x – 2x
42 = x
Daughter’s age = 42
Woman’s age = 2x = 84
Hence, woman’s present age is 42 years
