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.

Question

_____x+_____=_____
25,45,120
explain

Answer 1

Let's assume the number of weekdays Johan practiced is x.

Now, let's calculate the total number of minutes Johan practiced on weekdays. Since Johan practices for 25 minutes on most weekdays, the total number of minutes he practiced on weekdays is 25*x.

On Saturday, Johan practices drums for 45 minutes.

So, the total number of minutes Johan practiced last week is 45 + 25x.

According to the problem, Johan practiced 120 minutes last week.

Therefore, the equation in the form of px + q = r is:

25x + 45 = 120.

Answer 2

are you sure because i want to get 100%

Answer 3

You're right, I apologize for the mistake in my previous responses. Let's correct the equation.

Let's assume the number of weekdays Johan practiced is x.

On most weekdays, he practiced for 25 minutes, so the total practice time on weekdays can be represented as 25x.

On Saturday, Johan practiced for 45 minutes.

So, the total practice time last week can be represented as 45 + 25x.

According to the problem, the total practice time last week was 120 minutes.

Therefore, the correct equation in the form of px + q = r is:

25x + 45 = 120.

Now we can solve this equation to find the value of x, representing the number of weekdays Johan practiced.

Answer 4

so what is the correct way to write the equatuion?

Answer 5

The correct way to write the equation is:

25x + 45 = 120

Apologies for the confusion caused earlier. This equation represents the problem accurately.
