Answer:

Toni can carry a total of 5 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]1+2+3b\leq18[/tex] - Write the inequality out .

[tex]3+3b\leq 18[/tex] - Combine like terms.

 

[tex]3b\leq 15[/tex]  - Subtract 3 from both sides .

[tex]b\leq 5[/tex] -  Divide both sides by 3.

She can carry a max of 5 books.
