    x + x + 3 = 15
2x = 12
x = 6 boxes on Tuesday
Take it from there.

    I gave you part of the answer.  He sold 6 boxes on Tuesday.
How many boxes did he sell on Monday?
Multiply that answer by 12 to find the number of pencils he sold on Monday.

    Monday + Tuesday = 15
(x+3)+x = 15
2x=12
x=6...... boxes of Tuesday
x+3=9..... boxes of monday
9x12= 108 pencils that he sold on Monday

    I get the answer now. This is so hard. I need to think a lot. 
15boxes - 3boxes = 12 boxes left
12 boxes left / 2days= 6 boxes each
6 boxes each + 3more boxes =9 boxes on Monday
so divide 9 with the 12 pencils. So you will get the answer.
