Step-by-step explanation:
Let the no. of shells of sandy be 'x'
Anitha has x+5
sheetal has twice of what anitha hhas
=> sheetal has 2((x+5)= 2x+10
Sandy and sheetal together has
x+ 2x+10 = 16
3x + 10= 16
3x = 16-10
=>3x = 6
=> x = 2
sandy has 2 shells.
Anitha has 7 shells. (x + 5= 7)
Sheetal has 14 shells( 2x +10 = 14)
