Arlene Read 300 pages. that is 10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read. how many pages did Taylor read?

Question

Write an equation in the form PX + q equals r2 represent this problem

__x+10=30

Answer 1

Let's assume that Taylor read x pages.

According to the given information, Arlene read 300 pages, which is 10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read. Half of the pages Taylor read is x/2, and 10 pages more than that is x/2 + 10.

So, we can set up the equation as follows:

Arlene's pages = Taylor's pages / 2 + 10

300 = x/2 + 10

Rearranging the equation, we get:

x/2 = 300 - 10

x/2 = 290

Now, multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

x = 2 * 290

x = 580

Therefore, Taylor read 580 pages.

Answer 2

errrm anyways heres the answer for the practice
1: 1/2x + 10 = 30
2: 3x + -6 = 63
3: 1.50x + 8.00 = 12.50
4: 75 pages
5: 64 Inches
