Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 5) + (3x - 5) = 34

x - 5 + 3x - 5 = 34

4x = 34 + 10

4x = 44

x = 11

So, jack = 11 years old.

Jack = 33 years old.

Answer:

the answer is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Lacy = x

Jack = 3x

(x - 5) + (3x - 5) = 34

x - 5 + 3x - 5 = 34

4x = 34 + 10

 

4x = 44

x = 11

So, Lacy = 11 years old.

Jack = 33 years old.
