Let me help you with this :)

John = x 
Mike = y

x = 4 + 3y (4 more than 3 times)

x + y = 20 (we put the x above into this equation)

4 + 3y + y = 20 
4y = 16 (we transfers the 4 on the left side to the right side and subtract it from the 20)
y = 4 (the answer is 4)

we use this for the equation:

x = 4 +3*4
x = 16

John is 16 years old and Mike is 4 years old :)
