Setup an equations:
S = # Scott has read
T = # Teri has read

T = 5S - 3   (3 less than means subtraction but switch term order)
17 = 5S - 3 ( substitute 17 for T because Teri read 17)
4 = S (when you solve the equation)
Therefore, Scott read 4 books.

<span>Scott read 4. Put it this way: x=4. If = 4, then put it into an equation. 5x-3= 17. So, you add three to both sides, then it comes out as this: 5x= 20. Divide by five, and you get x= 4.</span>

disa [49]

Answer:

10 times greater

Step-by-step explanation:

Because value of 5 in 503 is 5*100

Then the value of 5 in 53 is 5*10

So then value of 5 in 503 is 10 times greater than the value of 5 in 53

I hope this helps
