Answer:

  m +2m +(2m -6) = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

m = number of books sold on Monday.

2m = number of books sold on Tuesday, twice as many as Monday.

2m -6 = number of books sold on Wednesday, 6 fewer than Tuesday.

The total number of books sold on the three days gives the equation you're looking for:

  m +2m +(2m -6) = 19

Additional comment

Solving this gives ...

  5m = 25 . . . . add 6

  m = 5 . . . . . divide by 5

5, 10, and 4 books were sold on the three days.
