Answer 1

Jackson collected s seashell.

Petra and Jesus collecte 2s-13 seasheel.

Thus total seasheel they collected is s+2s-13+2s-13=5s-26

A/q,

5s-26=94

5s=120

s=24

Rounding off we have, s=24.

Thus Jackson collected 25 sea shell.

Petra and Jesus collected 2x24-13=35

Thus Petra and Jesus collected 35 each shell.

The answer is Jackson collected 24 seashells. Petra and Jesus collected 35 seashells each.
