Let's say the number of pages Taylor read is x.
Half of the pages Taylor read is (1/2)x.
10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read is (1/2)x + 10.
So, the equation 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.
