14

(Sorry about the cute notation.)

The double(3) would evaluate to 6.

The double(x) would take the local x in mouseUp (mouseUp can't see the 
one in double) and have that doubled.  That would evaluate to 2.

The double(y+1) would evaluate to the same as double(2+1) or double(3) 
or 6.

And 6 + 2 + 6 evaluates to 14.
