Arlene read 30 pages. That is 10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read. How many pages did Taylor read? Write an equation in the form px+q=r to represent this problem. (2 points) what would the expression be

1 answer

Let's assume Taylor read x pages.
Half of the pages Taylor read is x/2.
10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read is x/2 + 10.
Since Arlene read 30 pages, the equation is: x/2 + 10 = 30.
