    Let us have a variable that will hold Jane's age. It will be x.

    Then we know Harvey's age is 3x. Because he is 3 times as hold as Jane.

    And sum of their ages is 48 years. So we need to add them up together.

    x + 3x = 48

    Combine like terms.

    4x = 48

    Divide both sides by 4.

    x = 12

    We know the age of Jane. And we know Harvey is 36. Because 12 * 3 = 36.
