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
