.

    Angela +  aunt  = 54


     A     + (3A+2) = 54


          4A        = 54 - 2 = 52


           A                 = 52/4 = 13


ANSWER.  Angela is 13 years old.  Her aunt is  3*13 + 2 = 41 years old.


CHECK.   13 + 41 = 54.    ! Correct !

Solved.

The answer by @josgarithmetic is WRONG --- so ignore it.
