L = 10M 27 = L - M
27 = 10M - M
27 = 9M
M = 3
L = 10M = 10(3) = 30
Lane is 30 years old Mel is 3 years old

Mel is 3 years old. This is determined by setting up equations based on the information that Lane is 10 times Mel's age and the difference between their ages is 27 years. By solving the equations, we find that Mel's age is 3 years.
