You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Establish variables
x = mother
y = daughter
...
Given
x-y = 24
x = 2y + 3
...
Substitue x into the first equation
2y + 3 - y = 24
Combine like terms
2y - y = 24 - 3
highlight_green%28y+=+21%29 year old daughter
...
x = 2y + 3 = 2(21) + 3 = highlight_green%28x+=+45%29 year old mother
...
