The information is not enough to solve the question. how can you have 3 unknowns, 2 equations, and solve all 3 unknowns.

However, the solution pops to mind without solving any equations:

1+4+6 = 11
1*4*6 = 24

To find the ages of the three daughters, let's break down the problem.

We are given a few pieces of information:
1. There are three daughters.
2. The sum of their ages is 11.
3. The product of their ages is 24.

To solve this, we can use trial and error or a systematic approach.

Let's list the possible combinations of three numbers whose sum is 11:
1, 5, 5 (sum = 11)
2, 4, 5 (sum = 11)
3, 3, 5 (sum = 11)
3, 4, 4 (sum = 11)
2, 3, 6 (sum = 11)
1, 2, 8 (sum = 11)

Now, let's check the product of each combination:
1 x 5 x 5 = 25 (not equal to 24)
2 x 4 x 5 = 40 (not equal to 24)
3 x 3 x 5 = 45 (not equal to 24)
3 x 4 x 4 = 48 (not equal to 24)
2 x 3 x 6 = 36 (not equal to 24)
1 x 2 x 8 = 16 (not equal to 24)

As none of these combinations match the product of 24, it seems like there might be an error in the given information. Please double-check the problem or provide more information if possible.
