Let's assume that Kishia's age is x years.
Then, her daughter's age is x-20 years.
The sum of their ages is x + (x-20) = 48.
Combining like terms, we get 2x - 20 = 48.
Adding 20 to both sides gives 2x = 68.
Dividing by 2, we find x = 34.
Therefore, Kishia is 34 years old. Answer: \boxed{34}.
The sum of the ages of Kishia and her daughter is 48 years, and the
difference of their ages is 20 years. How old is Kishia?
