I'm pretty sure she had four books.

Let me assume Gia had total books in starting = x books.

Number of books she got today = 5 books.

Number of books she returned = 3.

Total remaining books = 6 books.

We can setup an equation as

Total books in starting + Number of books she got today - Number of books she returned = Total remaining books .

Therefore,

x +5 -3 =6.

x +2 =6.

Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get

x+2-2=6-2.

x=4.

Therefore, Gia had total 4 books in starting.
