Answer:
Jack = 30
Lacy = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of Lacy be " x ".
Jack Is 2 times as old as lacy,
Age of Jack = 2 * Age of Lacy
Therefore,
Age of Jack = 2x.
8 years from now,
the age of Jack = 2x + 8
the age of Lacy = x + 8
8 years from now the sum of their ages will be 61,
2x + 8 + x + 8 = 61
2x + x + 8 + 8 = 61
3x + 16 = 61
3x = 61 - 16
3x = 45
x = 45 / 3
x = 15
The age of Jack
= 2x
= 2 * 15
= 30 years old.
The age of Lacy
= x
= 15 years old.
Hence,
Now,
the age of Jack is 30 years old.
the age of Lacy is 15 years old.
