Question

48 sweets are to be distributed among three friends A, B and C in such a way that B gets 5 sweets
more than A and C gets 7 sweets more than A. Form an equation​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let's assume, A gets X sweets... Then,
• B gets 5+X
• C gets 7+X
• A+B+C=48
• (X)+(5+X)+(7+X)=48
• X+5+X+7+X=48
• 3X+12=48
• 3X=48-12= 36
• X= 36/3= 12
• A got 12, B got 5+X= 17, C got 7+X= 19 Sweets
