Answer 2

Answer:

Claire is 18 years old, her mother is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

16 X 2=32

32 + 4=36

This cannot be it because it does not add up to 18, 40, or 42

40 X 40=80

80 + 4=84

This cannot be it because it definitely does not add up to 18, 40, or 42

18 X 2=36

36 + 4=40

This is it because it adds up to 40
