The average of two numbers is the sum of the two numbers divided by 2. Since there are two daughters and their average age is 22, the sum of their ages must be 44.

Let m = the mother's age. Then "the difference between the mother's age and the sum of the daughter's age is 6" translates into:
m - 44 = 6
Adding 44 to each side:
m = 50
