<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

A mathematical equation is the representation of a problem by the use of variables. Often times, an equation is formed from the factors that are in a problem.

We have to represented each of the books read with an algebraic term;

Let the number of mystery books be y

Let the number of sports books be x

Total number of books = 23

We know that;

x + y = 23

but y = 10

x = 23 - 10

x = 13 books
