If Alan and Calvin have the same number of cards, the number of cards Bill has is (12), The number of cards Alan and Calvin each have is (19).If Alan, Bill, and Calvin have all the cards in the deck, then the deck has (50) cards

Explanation:

Answer 2

a=2.5b-11, c=1.5b+1, and a=c so

2.5b-11=1.5b+1

b=12 so a=19 and c=19

so a+b+c=50
