Jada's teacher fills a travel bag with 5 copies of a textbook. The weight of the bag and books is 17 pounds. The empty travel bag weighs 3 pounds. How much does each book weigh?
​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Correct

5x + 3 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

So we need to find the book wieght only so take away the bag's weight from the total. 17-3=14. Now it says 5 books so divide 14 by 5 which is 2.8.

= 2.8 pounds
2.8 pounds is the weight of each book
