Arlene read 30 pages that is 10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read how many pages did Taylor Reid write an equation from the form px+q=r to represent this problem

Answer 1

Let's represent the number of pages Taylor read as "x".

Half of the pages Taylor read would be (1/2)x.

In the problem, Arlene read 10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read, so her total number of pages read would be (1/2)x + 10.

Since Arlene read 30 pages, we can write the equation:

(1/2)x + 10 = 30
