The answer is 12.
since we also know that jack is 2 times lucy now then the entire formula would be 2x - 6 = 18 to solve we add 6 to both sides 2x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6 the 6s on the left cancel because when you have a positive and negative of the same number it always = 0 we get 2x = 24 then divide both sides by 2 to get the answer 2x / 2 = 24 / 2 the 2s on the left cancel and you get

J=4L, (J+9)+(L+9)=68 using J=4L in the second equation gives you:

4L+9+L+9=68

5L+18=68

5L=50

L=10 and since J=4L

J=40

So Jack is 40 years old and Lacy is 10 years old.

I say it’s c.150 because 6 hours is 300 then 5 hours is 250 so you’re subtracting 50 for 1 less hour, so 4 hours would be 200 that makes 3 hours 150

got it? hope that’s not too confusing
