    JP's age is twice the age of Reyna. The sum of their ages does not exceed 51

    Let JP's age be j. Let Reyna's age be r. We're given two expressions:
    1. w = 2r
    2. r + w <= 51. (Does not exceed means less than or equal to)
    We substitute (1) into (2) for w to get the inequality:
    r + 2r <= 51

    To solve this inequality, we type it in our search engine and we get:
    r <= 17
