Let the mother's age be "W"

Let the daughter's age be "V"

Now represent your question as an algebraic expression

W = 3V - 3

W + V = 45

Now put the first expression into the second.

3V - 3 + V = 45

4V = 48

V=12

Since V=12 the daughters age is 12 years old

Now put "V" back into one of the equations.

W = 3(12) - 3

W = 33

The mother is 33 years old

The daughter is 12 years old

Lets check it buy putting both numbers into both equations

33 = 3(12) -3

33 = 36 - 3

33=33 Correct!

33 + 12 = 45

45=45 Correct!

Therefore these ages are correct.

How can I help my teenage daughter realize her beauty?

All mothers who have teenage daughters believe that those daughters are great beauties. As a result, teenage daughters don't put a lot of stock into what their mothers have to say. At different ages, teen girls have various issues with looks and body image. The reasons are many. On the other hand, some girls manage to be balanced and confident and concern themselves with being healthy and happy, rather than focusing on "beauty," which is temporary. Instead of harping on your daughter's great beauty, focus instead on her interests and talents. Those things are far more valuable and will go a long way to building her confidence.
