Let's assume that Taylor read x pages.
Half of the pages Taylor read would be (1/2)x.
10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read would be (1/2)x + 10.
Since Arlene read 30 pages, we can set up the equation:
(1/2)x + 10 = 30.
Thus, the equation in the form px + q = r is:
(1/2)x + 10 = 30.
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.
