let present age of the daughter be x years
and present age of Mrs Goes be x + 27 years
after 8 years,
daughter's age = x + 8
mrs Goes' age = x + 27 + 8 = x + 35
ACC to question
2(x+8) = x + 35
2x + 16 = x + 35
2x - x = 35 - 16
x = 19
so, present age of daughter = 19 years
and present age of Mrs goes = 19 + 27 = 46 years
hope this helps.
