Answer:

  72 +13n = 163

  7 nights

Step-by-step explanation:

At 13 pages per night, Mario will read 13n pages in n nights. That plus the pages already read will total 163:

  equation: 13n +72 = 163

__

To solve this, we can subtract 72, then divide by the coefficient of n.

  13n = 91 . . . . . . subtract 72 from both sides

  n = 7 . . . . . . . . divide both sides by n

Mario read 7 nights.
