Johan practices the drums for 45 minutes on Saturday and 25 minutes on most weekdays. Last week he practiced 120 minutes. How many weekdays did he practice? Write an equation in the

form of px + q = r to represent this problem. (3 points)

1 answer

Let x be the number of weekdays Johan practiced.
The time Johan practiced on weekdays is 25x minutes.
The total time Johan practiced is 45 + 25x minutes.
We know that the total time Johan practiced last week is 120 minutes.
So, 45 + 25x = 120.
Subtracting 45 from both sides, we get 25x = 75.
Dividing both sides by 25, we get x = <<3=3>>3.
So, Johan practiced on 3 weekdays.
Therefore, the equation in the form of px + q = r is 25x + 45 = 120. Answer: \boxed{25x + 45 = 120}.
