Let x be the number of training sessions Lyle attended.
The total number of hours from the training sessions Lyle attended is 2x hours.
Trent attended at least twice as many training sessions as Lyle, so Trent attended 2x training sessions.
The total number of hours from the training sessions Trent attended is 2 * 2x = 4x hours.
The total number of hours from the training sessions Lyle and Trent attended is 2x + 4x = 6x hours.
The weekend workout counted for an extra 6 hours of training.
The total number of hours Lyle and Trent trained this season is 6x + 6 hours.
Lyle had at least 42 hours of training, so 6x + 6 >= 42. Answer: \boxed{6x + 6 \geq 42}.
