Answer:

  1. 104 boxes
  2. 109 boxes
  3. 218 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of boxes of cookies sold the first week. Then b+5 boxes were sold the second week, and 2(b+5) boxes were sold the third week. The total sold was ...

  b +(b+5) +2(b+5) = 431

  4b +15 = 431 . . . . . . simplify

  b = (431 -15)/4 = 104 . . . . . subtract 15, divide by the coefficient of b

First week: b = 104

Second week: b+5 = 109

Third week: 2(b+5) = 218
