c = carol's age

d = daughter's age

c = d + 25
(c+6) + (d+6) = 75

c - d = 25
c + d = 63

c = 44
d = 19

Let Carol's age be x

Let her daughter's age be y
x-y=25...............(from question[1])
(x+6)+(y+6)=75...(from question[2])
Solving [2]
=) x+y=75-12
=) x+y=63.......(a)
Solving [2]
=) x=25+y
Subs. In [2]
=)(25+y)+y=63
=)25+2y=63
=)2y=63-25
=)2y=38
=)y=19

~CAROL'S age is 25+y=25+19=44yrs!!!!!!

Hope this helped u guys😊

Well, isn't it funny how age can sometimes catch up to us in the most unexpected ways? Let's use our laughter and math skills to solve this equation!

Since Carol's daughter is 25 years younger than her, we can represent her daughter's age as y - 25. In 6 years' time, Carol's age will be y + 6 and her daughter's age will be y - 25 + 6 = y - 19.

According to the given information, the sum of their ages in 6 years' time will be 75. So, we can write this equation:

(y + 6) + (y - 19) = 75

Simplifying this equation, we get:

2y - 13 = 75

Now, we just need to solve for y. Let's have a little math party!

2y = 75 + 13

2y = 88

y = 88 / 2

y = 44

So, Carol's present age is 44 years old! Enjoy the laughter-filled journey of aging, Carol!

To find Carol's present age, we need to set up an equation based on the information given.

Let's assume Carol's present age is represented by "y" years.

According to the given information, her daughter is 25 years younger than Carol. So her daughter's age can be represented as "y - 25" years.

In 6 years' time, Carol will be y + 6 years old, and her daughter will be (y - 25) + 6 years old. The sum of their ages in 6 years' time is 75 years.

So, we can set up the equation: (y + 6) + ((y - 25) + 6) = 75.

Now, let's solve the equation to find Carol's present age:

y + 6 + y - 25 + 6 = 75
2y - 13 = 75
2y = 75 + 13
2y = 88
y = 88/2
y = 44

Therefore, Carol's present age is 44 years.
