L = liz's age now

J = Jack's age now

L-1 and J-1 are their ages one year ago

L-1=3(J-1)

L-1=3J-3

L=3J-3+1

L=3J-2 (to be used later)

L+2 and J+2 are their ages in two years

L+2=2(J+2)

replace L by 3J-2

3J-2+2=2(J+2)

3J=2J+4

3J-2J=4

J=4 is Jack's age now

L-1=3(J-1)

L-1=3(4-1)

L-1=3*3

L-1=9

L=9+1

L=10 is Liz's age now
