Let the number of pages Taylor read be represented by x.
Half of the pages Taylor read is (1/2)x.
10 more than half of the pages Taylor read is (1/2)x + 10.
Therefore, the equation in the form px + q = r is:
(1/2)x + 10 = 30
The answer in the form _x + _ = _ is:
(1/2)x + 10 - 30 = 0
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 represent this problem.
write the answer in this form: _x+_=_
