Answer:

48 yr. old

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume daughter is 4 and mom is 10 times her age, so mom is 40.

10 (woman) * 4 (daughter's age) = 40 yr. old mom

Present day...

40 (yr old mom) + 8 (yrs later) = 48 yr. old mom today

4 (yr old daughter) + 8 (yrs later) = 12 yr. old daughter today

So, if mom is 4 times as her daughter's age today...

48 (yr. old mom) / 12 (yr. old daughter) = 4

$\bf |x^2+3x-1|\ \textless \ 3\implies 
\begin{cases}
+(x^2+3x-1)\ \textless \ 3\\\\
-(x^2+3x-1)\ \textless \ 3
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
x^2+3x-1\ \textless \ 3\implies x^2+3x-4\ \textless \ 0\implies (x+4)(x-1)\ \textless \ 0
\\\\\\
x\ \textless \

-(x^2+3x-1)\ \textless \ 3\implies x^2+3x-1\boxed{\ \textgreater \ }-3
