Let's solve this step by step:
Let's say Lucy has x seashells.
If Daisy has 6 more than three times as many seashells as Lucy, then Daisy has 3x + 6 seashells.
But we know that Daisy has 36 seashells. So we can set up the equation:
3x + 6 = 36
Now, let's solve for x:
3x = 36 - 6
3x = 30
x = 30/3
x = 10
Therefore, Lucy has 10 seashells.
So the answer is 10.
