Let's assume the number of pages Susan read yesterday is x.

According to the problem, Susan read 8 pages fewer than 13 of the pages she read yesterday, so she read 13x-8 pages today.
Since Susan read 17 pages today, we can set up the equation 13x-8 = 17.
Adding 8 to both sides, we get 13x = 25.
Finally, dividing both sides by 13, we find x = 25/13 = 1.92.
So, Susan read 1.92 pages yesterday.

Let's denote the number of pages Susan read yesterday as 'x.'

According to the given information, Susan read 8 pages fewer than 13 of the pages she read yesterday, which means she read x - 8 pages today.
Given that Susan read 17 pages today, we can set up an equation:
x - 8 = 17.
To solve this equation for x, we can add 8 to both sides:
x - 8 + 8 = 17 + 8,
which simplifies to x = 25.
Therefore, Susan read 25 pages yesterday.

To find out how many pages Susan read yesterday, we need to deduct the 8 pages from the total she read today (17 pages).

So, to calculate the number of pages she read yesterday, we need to add the 8 pages she did not read today to the total of 17 pages she did read today.

Therefore, Susan read a total of 17 + 8 = 25 pages yesterday.
