Answer:
Lets represent the age of the father as x and the age of the daughter as y.
13 years ago x was thrice y's age, or
(x - 13) = 3(y - 13); or
x - 3y = -26
2 years ago, x was twice y's age, or
(x - 2) = 2 (y - 2); or
x - 2y = -2
Subtracting equation 1 from 2:
x - 2y - (x - 3y) = -2 - (-26)
or
y = 24
Then x = -2 + 2y = 46
Thus age of the Father is 46 and age of the daughter is 24
