It was very difficult to read and to understand your text.
It was written very inaccurately.


The equations are

B = L + 4   (1)    (Butch is 4 years older than his sister Lilet. B for Butch's age, L for Lilet).

B%2F3 = L -2.  (2)    (One third of Butch age is two less than his sisters age.)

Now solve it yourself by any method.

If next time you submit so inaccurately written text, I will not help you.
