    Answer: Mother is 27 years old now.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use x as a substitute.

    Mother = 3x Daughter = x

    In 9 years : Mother = 3x + 9 Daughter = x + 9

    It is given that the mother will be 2 times as old as the daughter.

    3x + 9 = 2 (x + 9)

    3x + 9 = 2x + 18

    - 9

    3x = 2x + 9

    -2x

    x = 9

    So, now, 3x will equal 3 (9) = 27

    Mother is 27 years old.
