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.
