Let the number of pages Susan read yesterday be x.
She read 13 pages fewer yesterday: x - 13
Susan read 8 pages fewer than that yesterday: x - 13 - 8 = 17
Combining like terms, we get x - 21 = 17
Adding 21 to both sides, we get x = 38
Susan read 38 pages yesterday. Answer: \boxed{38}.

Let the number of pages Susan read yesterday be x.
Susan read 8 pages fewer than 13 of the pages she read yesterday, so 13x - 8 = 17.
Adding 8 to both sides, we get 13x = 25.
Dividing both sides by 13, we get x = 25/13.
So, Susan read 25/13 pages yesterday. Answer: \boxed{25/13}.
Susan read 8 pages fewer than 13 of the pages she read yesterday, so 13x - 8 = 17.
Adding 8 to both sides, we get 13x = 25.
Dividing both sides by 13, we get x = 25/13.
So, Susan read 25/13 pages yesterday. Answer: \boxed{25/13}.
the answer was 75
Apologies for the confusion. If Susan read 17 pages today and that is 8 pages fewer than 13 of the pages she read yesterday, we can set up the equation:
17 = 13x - 8
Adding 8 to both sides, we get:
17 + 8 = 13x
25 = 13x
Dividing both sides by 13, we get:
x = 25/13
Therefore, Susan read 25/13 pages yesterday which is approximately 1.92 pages. However, since we are dealing with whole numbers of pages, we can assume that Susan read 2 pages yesterday.
So, the correct answer is that Susan read \boxed{2} pages yesterday.
17 = 13x - 8
Adding 8 to both sides, we get:
17 + 8 = 13x
25 = 13x
Dividing both sides by 13, we get:
x = 25/13
Therefore, Susan read 25/13 pages yesterday which is approximately 1.92 pages. However, since we are dealing with whole numbers of pages, we can assume that Susan read 2 pages yesterday.
So, the correct answer is that Susan read \boxed{2} pages yesterday.
Maria opens a savings account with $50 and then saves $19 each week. How many weeks will it take for her account to reach $259? Represent this problem with an equation in the form px+q=r .(1 point)
Responses
50x+19=259
50 x plus 19 equals 259
259+50=19x
259 plus 50 equals 19 x
19x−50=259
19 x minus 50 equals 259
19x+50=259
Responses
50x+19=259
50 x plus 19 equals 259
259+50=19x
259 plus 50 equals 19 x
19x−50=259
19 x minus 50 equals 259
19x+50=259
The correct equation representing this problem is:
50 + 19x = 259, where x represents the number of weeks.
So, the correct answer is 50 + 19x = 259.
50 + 19x = 259, where x represents the number of weeks.
So, the correct answer is 50 + 19x = 259.
double check
Apologies for the confusion. Let's double-check the equation.
Maria opens a savings account with $50 and saves $19 each week.
After x weeks, the amount in her account will be $50 + $19x.
To represent the problem with an equation, we can set:
50 + 19x = 259
Therefore, the correct equation is 50 + 19x = 259.
Maria opens a savings account with $50 and saves $19 each week.

The correct equation representing this problem is:
2x - 7 = 15, where x represents the number of games they played last season.
So, the correct answer is 2x - 7 = 15.
