Answer:

the number of book she can carry is 5 books

Step-by-step explanation:

backpack capacity = 18 lb

backpack can carry:

lunch = 1 lb

gym clothes = 2 lb

books = 3 lb per book

find:

how many books can she carry in her backpack?

backpack capacity = lunch + gym clothes +  x books

let x be the number of books

18 = 1 + 2 + 3x

18 - 1 - 2 = 3x

15 = 3x

x = 15 / 3

x = 5

therefore, the number of book she can carry is 5 books
