Let's assume that the number of weekdays Lindsay practiced is "x".

On Saturday, Lindsay practiced for 50 minutes.
On the weekdays, she practiced for 30 minutes each day.
The total time Lindsay practiced on weekdays is 30x.
The total time Lindsay practiced last week is 140 minutes.
Therefore, the equation to represent this problem is 30x + 50 = 140.
