Answer:
Let Rose be R
Let her daughter be D
"3" yrs ago.
Subtract 3 from their ages
Rose was then (R-3) yrs old.
Daughter ..........(D-3)yrs old
So 3yrs ago.... Rose was 24yrs older than D.
Meaning
R=24+D
Which 3yrs ago can be expressed as
(R-3)=24+(D-3)
R - 3 = 24 + D - 3
R - D=24-3 + 3
R-D=24--------1
Now
At present.
R is 5times as old as Daughter
Meaning R = 5D-------2
Substituting into eqn 1
R-D=24
5D-D=24
4D=24
D=6yrs
Substitute D=6 into any equation of choice to get R
R-D=24
R=24+D
R=24+6
R=30yrs
Now we have Roses's age to be 30yrs and Daughter's age to be 6yrs.
We're asked to find the daughter's age in 3yrs time...
Meaning ....D+3
=6+3 = 9yrs
DAUGHTER WOULD BE 9YRS OLD IN 3YRS TIME.
