in x years Tia will be 41+x years old. Her daughter will be 5+x years old.
Since her daughter will be half her age in X years, (5+x)*2=41+x.
Solving the equation, x=31 years.

The difference in their ages is (and always will be) 36 years.

So when her daughter is half her age, their ages will be 36 and 72.

Since their ages now are 5 and 41, that will be 31 years from now.

ANSWER: x=31
