Hi,
Let x represent Kate's age   &#8658;  {{{ highlight_green(6x)}}} is Jason's age
Question States*** In 2 years, Jason will be twice as old as Kate is then
6x + 2 = 2(x+2)
6x + 2 = 2x + 4
   4x = 2
        x = 1/2 years old, Kate's age.  Jason is 3  
CHECKING our answer*** In 2 years, Jason will be twice as old as Kate is then
Kate:  {{{2 + 1/2 = 4/2 + 1/2 = 5/2}}}
  {{{5= 2(5/2)}}}
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
