Answer:

Lisa is 5

Explanation:

When Lisa is 4 times her current age, 3 times her current age will have been added to her current age. That is, 15 years is 3 times her current age, so Lisa is 5.

___

If you want an equation:

a + 15 = 4a

15 = 3a . . . . . . . . . subtract a

15/3 = a = 5 . . . . . Lisa's age is 5
