Present age of the woman, 5d
Daughter age, d

Solve for d.

Possible mistake in problem description.
d not whole number.

If description said "woman is four times the age of her daughter", then d=10.

================
If someone doesn't know the difference between "four times older" and "four times as old" they should not be writing math problems.
Or anything else.
===================
If someone says "four times smaller" or "four times closer" hit them on the head.
