Answer:
Geetha is 32.5 years old
her daughter is 11.5 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
sum of their ages is 44 years
G + D = 44
in two years, Geetha's age is 3 times her daughters age. (to find present age, subtract 2)
G = 3D - 2
substitute
(3D - 2) + D = 44
combine like terms
4D - 2 = 46
4D = 46
D = 11.5
plug in D to either equation
G + (11.5) = 44
G = 32.5
G = 3(11.5) - 2
G = 32.5
