Omitted / Incomplete Question : Judy has read 4 Less than three times as many as Jason
Answer:Jason has read 7 mystery novels and Judy has read 17 mystery novels
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of mystery books read by Jason and Judy =24
Let Number of mystery books read by Jason=x
and Number of mystery books read by Judy= 3x-4
So that the total number of book read by both of them will be expressed as
x +(3x-4) =24
x +3x-4 =24
4x=24+4
4x=28
x=28/4=7
There fore Jason has read 7 mystery novels
and Judy = 3x-4 = 3 X 7- 4 =21-4=17mystery novels
