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}.

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.

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

19xโˆ’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.

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.

Annetteโ€™s soccer team will play 15 games this season. That is 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games they played last season. How many games did they play last season? Represent this problem with an equation in the form px+q=r .(1 point)

Responses

15โˆ’7=2x
15 minus 7 equals 2 x

2x+7=15
2 x plus 7 equals 15

7โˆ’2x=15
7 minus 2 x equals 15

2xโˆ’7=15

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.
