Arlene Read 30 pages. that is 10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read. how many pages did Taylor read?

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

__x+10=30

What does p equal in this equation

From the given equation, p equals 1.

In the equation PX + q = r, p represents the coefficient (or the number) that is multiplied by the variable x. In this problem, p would be 0.5 because half of the pages Taylor read is being multiplied by x. So, p = 0.5.

In this equation, p represents the number of pages Taylor read. So, p equals the number of pages Taylor read.
