Lindsay practices the guitar 50 minutes on Saturday and 30 minutes on most weekdays. How many weekdays did she practice . Write an equation in the form px + Q = r to represent this problem.

Answer 1

To represent Lindsay's guitar practice in an equation, let's define \( x \) as the number of weekdays she practices.

1. She practices 30 minutes on each weekday, so the total practice time during the weekdays can be represented as \( 30x \) (where \( x \) is the number of weekdays).
2. On Saturday, she practices for 50 minutes.
3. The total practice time for the week can be represented as the sum of her Saturday practice and weekday practice.

Assuming we want to find the total practice time for any given number of weekdays, we could write an equation in the following form:

\[ 30x + 50 = r \]

If we are looking to set this equal to a specific total practice time \( r \), we can rearrange the equation as follows:

\[ 30x + 50 = r \]

You can specify \( r \) based on a particular total time you are interested in, and this equation will help you find \( x \). If you need a specific value for \( r \), please provide that, and I can help you further.
