Answer: gregg is 7, timothy is 14, Aunt Marty is 28

Explanation:

lets named them first

timothy is t

Gregg is g

Marty is m

what do we know?

t=2g (twice as old)

m=4g, (4 times old as Gregg)

the sum of their ages is 49

2g(which is timothy)+4g(which is Marty the aunt) +g (gregg)=49

7g=49

gregg is 49/7=7

Timothy is twice his age 7*2=14

Marty is 4 times as gregg

4*7=28

if you add them, it will be 49
