Lindsey pratches is the guitar 50 minutes on Saturday and 30 minutes.Almost weekdays last week she practiced a 140 minutes.How many weekdays did she practice writing a question in the form px + q =r to represent this problem

Question

____x+___=___

Answer 1

To create an equation that represents Lindsey's guitar practice time, we need to determine the total practice time spent during the weekdays and include her practice on Saturday as well.

1. Identify the variables:

   • Let \( x \) represent the number of weekdays she practiced.
   • She practices 30 minutes on each weekday.

2. Add the practice time from Saturday:

   • On Saturday, she practiced for 50 minutes.

3. Set up the equation:

   • The total amount of practice last week was 140 minutes.

The equation can be set up as follows:

\[ 30x + 50 = 140 \]

This represents the total practice time where:

• \( 30x \) is the total practice time for weekdays (30 minutes per day for \( x \) days),
• \( 50 \) is the practice time for Saturday,
• and the total is equal to \( 140 \) minutes.

So filling in the blanks, the equation is:

\[ 30x + 50 = 140 \]
