Lindsay practices the guitar 50 minutes on Saturday and 30 minutes on most weekdays. Last week she practiced 140 minutes. How many weekdays did she practice? Write an equation in the form px+q=r

to represent this problem.(2 points)
__x+__=__

1 answer

Let's denote the number of weekdays Lindsay practiced as \( x \).

According to the information provided:

  • She practices 30 minutes on most weekdays, so for \( x \) weekdays, she practiced \( 30x \) minutes.
  • On Saturday, she practiced 50 minutes.

The total practice time for the week can be represented by the equation:

\[ 30x + 50 = 140 \]

This can be rewritten in the required form \( px + q = r \):

\[ 30x + 50 = 140 \]

So, the answer is:

\( 30x + 50 = 140 \)
