Solution

The algebraic expression that describes the problem is (2r - 7) / 3.

Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Begin with r books: This is represented by 'r' in the expression.
  2. Double that: This means we multiply 'r' by 2, which gives us '2r'.
  3. Subtract 7: This is represented by '- 7' in the expression, so now we have '2r - 7'.
  4. Divide by 3: This is represented by '/ 3' in the expression, so the final expression is '(2r - 7) / 3'.
