First sentence is bad! Find the correct way your exercise was supposed to be written.
Here is probably the way the description was supposed to be written:
Kevin's age is twice as much as four times Jane's age.
The sum of their ages is 48.
k for Kevin, j for Jane
-------and then k is 32,
Another possibility:
Kevin's age is two times more than four times Jane's age.
The sum of their ages is 48.
But this is still not good.
k for Kevin, j for Jane
-
and then
-------likely not what was intended, since j not a whole value.
