Let's assume the number of pages Susan read yesterday is x.
Given that today she read 17 pages, which is 8 pages fewer than 13 pages she read yesterday.
So, 17 = 13 - 8
Now, we can solve for x:
17 + 8 = 13
25 = x
Therefore, Susan read 25 pages yesterday.

To find out how many pages Susan read yesterday, we need to subtract 8 from the total pages she read today.
Let the number of pages Susan read yesterday be represented by 'x'. According to the given information, she read 17 pages today, which is 8 pages fewer than 13 of the pages she read yesterday. So, we can set up an equation:
17 = x - 8
To solve this equation, we'll first add 8 to both sides to isolate 'x' on one side of the equation:
17 + 8 = x
25 = x
Therefore, Susan read 25 pages yesterday.
