    Week 1 = B

    Week 2 = B + 5

    Week 3 = 2 (B + 5)

    Week 1 + Week 2 + Week 3 = 431

    B + (B + 5) + 2 (B + 5) = 431

    B + B + 5 + 2B + 10 = 431

    4B + 15 = 431

    4B = 416

    B = 104

    Week 1 = 104

    Week 2 = 104 + 5

    Week 3 = 2 (104 + 5)

    Week 1 = 104 boxes

    Week 2 = 109 boxes

    Week 3 = 218 Boxes
