The number of math books, english books and science books are  3x,7x and 2x respectively.

There are 318 books science book in the library.

According to the problem,

2x=318

[tex]\Rightarrow x=\frac{318}{2}[/tex]

⇒ x=159

The number of math books is = 3x

                                                  =3×159

                                                 =477
