Answer 2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Amin.

Let b = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Bob.

b = 2a

(a - 3)(b - 3) = 14

ab - 3a - 3b + 9 = 14

a(2a) - 3a - 3(2a) = 5

2a^2 - 3a - 6a = 5

2a^2 - 9a - 5 = 0

(2a + 1)(a - 5) = 0

2a + 1 = 0  or  a - 5 = 0

a = -1/2  or  a = 5

Amin cannot have bought -1/2 pieces of chocolate, so we discard the soluion a = -1/2.

a = 5
