Answer:
Jack is 31
Lacy is 10
Explanation:
x - 9 = 22
since jack is 3 times as old as lacy,
the formula is
3x - 9 = 22
3x = 31
x = 10.3
So Jack is 31
And Lacy is 10
To prove this, subract 9 (years) from both ages
It will give you an approximate sum of 22 years for both their ages, as the question states
Since Lacy is a little over 10 years old, Jack is 31 instead of 30
The formula was taken from someone elses answer so sorry if it`s wrong
