Given:

To Find:

The number of cards each person has.

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.
