    45 years old

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Suppose Dianna age 33 years ago = x

    Dianna age today = x + 33

    Dianna age after 3 years = (x + 33) + 3

    In 3 years, Dianna will be 4 times as old as she was 33 years ago

    Equation

    4x = (x+33) + 3

    4x = x + 36

    4x - x = 36

    3x = 36

    x = 36/3

    x = 12

    Dianna age today = x + 33 = 12 + 33 = 45

    Diana is 45 years old.

    45 years

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the age of Dianna 33 years ago be x years

    Age of Dianna now = (x+33) years

    After 3 years, age of Dianna = (x + 33+3) years

    After 3 years, age of Dianna = (x + 36) years

    In 3 years, Dianna will be 4 times as old as she was 33 years ago.

    According to question,

    4x = x + 36

    4x-x=36

    3x=36

    x=36:3

    x=12 years

    Age of Dianna now = (12+33) years

    Now, Age of Dianana = 45 years

    Hence, the correct answer is 45 years
