I assume the question was meant to read: Rajesh package weights 3 more pounds than twice the weight of Mohib. Let Mohib's package weigh x. Then Rajesh package weighs 2x + 3
So their combined package weighs x + (2x + 3) = 15
So we have x + 2x + 3 = 15
3x + 3 = 15
3x = 15 - 3 = 12
x = 4
So Mohib's package is 4 and Rajesh package is (2*4) + 3 = 11

let the weight that Mohib packs be x, weight that Rajesh packs will be 2x+3.
the total weight will be:
x+(2x+3)=15
solving for x we get
x+2x+3=15
3x=15-3
3x=12
x=12/3
x=4
Mohib packaged 4 pounds while Rajesh packaged 2*4+3=11 pounds
