    Given:

    x represents the number of baseball cards that Vince has. Neal has 3 fewer cards than twice the number of cards Vince has. Patrick has 5 more baseball cards than Vince.

    To Find:

    The number of cards each person has.

    Answer:

    Vince has x cards.

    Neal has 2x-3 cards.

    And Patrick has x+5 cards.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of baseball cards that Vince has collected.

    Now, given in the question that Neal has 3 fewer cards than twice the number of cards Vince has.

    "Twice the number of cards Vince has" can be denoted as 2x.

    So, Neal has 3 fewer cards than 2x. We can represent this as 2x-3.

    Next, Patrick has 5 more cards than Vince. This means he has x+5 cards.

    So, Vince has x cards.

    Neal has 2x-3 cards.

    And Patrick has x+5 cards.
