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.
