Answer 1

Heya....

Here's your answer...

Let sandy found x shells,

Then,

anita has (x+5) shells

and shella has 2(x+5) shells.

According to question,

Shells of shella + shells of sandy = 16

Therefore,

⇒2(x+5) + x =16

⇒2x+10+x=16

⇒3x=16-10

⇒x=6/3

⇒x=2

Therefore,

Shells with shella = 14

Shells with sandy = 2

Shells with anita = 7
