I am having problems with the following question. Could you please help
me by showing me how it is worked out. I've been through my textbook and
my mom has tried to figure it out..maybe I can help you in return in the 
near future:

Craig is one year less than twice as old as Colin. The sum of three times 
Craig's age and twice Colins's age is 45. Find their ages.  The answer is
Craig is 11 and Colin is 6. Please show me how they figured this out?
I am knew at word problems..grade 10.
