<PRE><B>Question 1145286</B>
Let {{{ x }}} = bags of flower bulbs sold on 1st day
{{{ x + 2 }}} = bags of flower bulbs sold on 2nd day
For the 3rd day:
{{{ 2*( x + 2 ) = 14 }}}
{{{ 2x + 4 = 14 }}}
{{{ 2x = 10 }}}
{{{ x = 5 }}}
5 were sold on the 1st day
----------------------------------
check:
2 more were sold on the 2nd day, so
{{{ 5 + 2 = 7 }}} sold on 2nd day
------------------------------------
twice that were sold on the 3rd day, so
{{{ 2*7 = 14 }}} sold on 3rd day
OK</PRE>
