it's 9 :
to prove :
let a = daughters = 3
let b= brothers = 2
let x = # of children
x= a(b) + a therefore: 3(2)+3 = 9
:lol: its 5 sorry..got confused

9?is it correct?I think the sisters have the same brothers right?So the 2 brothers is also the brothers of each of the girls...(is my explanation correct?)
Its 5, (3 daughter + 2 brothers)... the sentence is silent if the brothers were married, hence, they cannot be called Mr. and Mrs Flores.
Seductive Lady...what a mathematical computation huh! yet I don't agree:cyber_zombie:
