Answer:

Lacy is 13 and Jack is 52

Step-by-step explanation:

In 3 years their ages will add up to 71 so you have to subtract 6 as there are two of them to get 65. Lacy's age is represented by x and since Jack is 4 times older his age is represented by 4x. So added together their age is 5x. So 5x=65. Then 65/5=13. So 13=x. So Lacy is 13 and Jack is 52 as 13x4 is 52.
