Answer:
The answer is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the total number of flowers.
When the problem says that all but two of the flowers are of one kind, it means there are n−2 flowers of that kind.
Therefore, x−2 of them are roses, x−2 of them are tulips and x−2 of them are daisies.
Assuming that this exhausts the list of flowers,
we can write x−2+x−2+x−2=x
which gives n=3
Hope that helps! :)
