Jane is 4 years older than Paul.
The sum of three times janes age and two times Paul’s age is 67. How old are Jane and Paul?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let x be the Jane age; then the Paul's age is (x-4) years. From the condition, you have this equation 3x + 2*(x-4) = 67. Solve it for x, the Jane's age. Then evaluate (x-4), the Paul's age.
