Mr. James is 4 times as old as his daughter. The difference in their ages is 36 years. Find their ages.

Mr James age is 48 years and

his daughter's age is 12 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the daughters age is x years then Mr James' age is 4x years.

The difference in their ages is 36 so:

4x - x = 36

3x = 36

x = 12 years.

So Mr James age = 4x = 48 years and his daughter's age is 12 years.
