Answer:

Meg gave Sam 47 seashells

Step-by-step explanation:

59-12= 47

checking my work: 47+12= 59

Meg has given a total of 47 seashells among 59 seashells.

How to form an equation?

An equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

When trying to set up or construct a linear function to fit a real-world application, identify the known quantities and use the unknown quantity as a variable.

Given that

The number of seashells Meg had = 59

Number of seashells she left with = 12

Let's say she has given x number of seashells

Total - given =  left

59 - x = 12

x = 59 - 12

x = 47

So Meg has given 47 seashells to others.
