its A

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let p represent the number of seashells collected by Pierre.

We have been given at the Nardia collected triple the number of seashells that Pierre did. So, the number of sea shells collected by Nardia would be 3p.

We are also told that together they collected 52 seashells. We can represent this information in an equation as:

`p+3p=52`

`4p=52`

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 4 we will get,

`(4p)/(4)=(52)/(4)`

`p=13`

Therefore, Pierre collected 13 seashells.
