Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
a=age
500 reduced by 2 times a is equal to 388
500-2a=388
minus 500 both sides
-2a=-112
divide both sides by -2
a=56
you are 56

Answer:
George is 12, Mary Lou is 24 and Kate is 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find these, start by setting George's age as x. This means that we can model Mary Lou's age as 2x, since she is twice as old. We can also model Kate's age as x - 2 since she is two years younger. Now we can add these 3 together and set equal to 46
x + 2x + x - 2 = 46
4x - 2 = 46
4x = 48
x = 12
This means that George is 12.
Mary Lou = 2x
Mary Lou = 2(12)
Mary Lou = 24
Kate = x - 2
Kate = 12 - 2
Kate = 10
