Let the number of pages Taylor read be represented by x.
According to the problem, Arlene read 10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read. Half of x is x/2, and 10 pages more than that is (x/2) + 10.
We can then write the equation as:
30 = (x/2) + 10
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.
