Answer:
Sophie has 12.5 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> number of cards Sophie has
y -----> number of cards Jackie has
we know that
x+y=30 -----> equation A
y=x+5 -----> equation B
Solve by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x
x+(x+5)=30
2x=30-5
x=12.5 cards
Note I assume the problem was invented without taking into account the result, because the amount of cards should be a whole number

Step-by-step explanation:
one person is deemed to drive and that person is fixed on the driver's seat no mater which arrangement.
we have now 2 more seats one adjacent to the driver and one rear (two combined).
so the total ways in which all five can be arranged is as follows.
driver, adjacent to him(1) and three back.
driver adjacent to him (different person) and three back.
see the driver is always fixed so we can ignore him.
thus we when driver set fixed , on two remaining seats (adjacent to driver and the back )there can be 4 different combinations.
