mother is 41 years old and her daughter is 9. in how many years will the mother be three times old as her daughter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

%2841+%2Bx%29%2F%289%2Bx%29 = 3,

41 + x = 3*(9 + x),

41 + x = 27 + 3x,

41 - 27 = 3x - x,

14 = 2x,

x = 14%2F2 = 7 years.

Answer. In 7 years.
