Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

If m = Mother's age and d = daughter's age, we can make the following equations

m = 3d

m + d = 44

Now, using substitution, we can substitute m for 3d in the second equation:

3d + d = 44, 4d = 44, d = 11

Then, we can plug d into the first equation: m = 3(11) = 33
