    Answer:her breaststroke speed is is 30 laps per hour

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let b represent Justine's butterfly speed and

    Let r represent Justine's breaststroke speed.

    Justine swims freestyle at a pace of 150 laps per hour. Justine swims breaststroke 20 laps per hour slower than she swims butterfly. This means that

    r = b - 20

    If Justine's freestyle speed is three times faster than her butterfly speed, it means that

    3b = 150

    b = 150/3 = 50

    Substituting b = 50 into r = b - 20, it becomes

    r = 50 - 20 = 30
