You found all you can in the description. Nothing more is available in the description which you presented.

Lucy's age, x.
Little sister, x-3.
Older sister, 2x-5.

That is all. Not enough information given for any equation. Maybe, how much older is Lucy's older sister than Lucy? But you still have a variable: 2x-5-x=x-5.
