Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

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

From the given information, we know that she read 17 pages today, which is 8 pages fewer than 1/3 of the pages she read yesterday.

Therefore, we can write the equation: (1/3)x - 8 = 17

To solve this equation, let's first add 8 to both sides: (1/3)x = 25

Next, multiply both sides by 3 to isolate x: x = 75

Therefore, Susan read 75 pages yesterday.
