Arlene read 30 pages that’s 10 pages more than half of the page Taylor read how many pages did Taylor read

Question

Write an equation in the form px+ q=r to represent the this problem

Answer 1

Let x be the number of pages Taylor read.
Half of the pages Taylor read is (1/2)x.
And then add 10 to get the number of pages Arlene read: (1/2)x + 10.
Finally, we can write the equation: (1/2)x + 10 = 30.
