===================
That's (not very) interesting.
Do you have a question?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let your daughter's age now be x,
Your age=7x
Two years ago,
your daughter's age=x-2
your age=9(x-2)
Then,
x-2=9(x-2)
x-2=9x-18
9x-x=-2+18
8x=16
x=2
Your daughter age is 2yrs,
Then your age=7*2
=14yrs
HOPE THIS HELPS?
