Arlene read 30 pages. That is 10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read. How many pages did Taylor read?

Answer 1

Let x be the number of pages Taylor read
Half the number of pages Taylor read is x/2
Arlene = (x/2) + 10
30 = (x/2) + 10
20 = x/2
40 = x
Taylor read 40 pages. Answer: \boxed{40}.
