            For your info :

In English, there are two forms of sentences. One form is " the father is 4 times older than Steve is". The other form is " the father is 4 times as old as Steve is". In distinction from many other languages, these sentences have different meaning in English. A person who considers himself (or herself) as a Math problems' composer, must know about it.

Steve x Sister x-3 Father 4x+x SUM 63

That will not be a whole value for x.
Rethink what your problem description is.
