Please write the problem solution in the solution text box; do not attach files. Also, do not post short title without the actual solution (to be appended later). Post the answer right away. I need the answers with all the steps (including equations) shown. Thanks!

let's note with a- the number of selled flowers b Jill, b - the number of selled flowers by Jack

when Jill sells 2 two more buckets she will have sold three times as many buckets than jack sold, which means the following

                    a + 2 = 3 * b

jill has sold 19 buckets, meaning a = 19, so al we have to do is to put this in the previous equation

                   19 + 2 = 3 * b

                         21 = 3 * b

                         b = 21/3 = 7

So jack sold 7 flowers.
