This is a reminder to use this sight to check your answers instead of cheating.

Also, the anonymous user who asked the question, made an error and wrote 13 instead of 1/3. We'll say Y is the number of pages Susan read yesterday. This can be expressed as 17 = (1/3)y - 8. To solve for Y, we can arrange the equation. (1/3)y = 17 + 8 to (1/3)y = 25. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction, y = 25 * 3. Therefore, Susan read 75 pages yesterday.
Answer
Thanks for telling everybody the answer when you said not to cheat, Mrs. B.

Let x be the number of pages Susan read yesterday.
Susan read x-8 pages today.
We know that x-8=17.
Adding 8 to both sides of the equation, we get x=17+8=<<17+8=25>>25 pages. Answer: \boxed{25}.
