A mother is 12 years older than triple the age of her daughter.
The sum of their ages is 36.
Let x represent the daughter's age
Then... Write as You Read
Mother's age is (3x+12)
And
x + (3x + 12) = 36
4x + 12 = 36
Solve:
4x = 24
x = 6     the daughter's age
Mother is {{{3*6 +12}}} = 30
Checking our Answer:
6 + 30 = 36  Checks!
