fill the blanks
Let's fill in the blanks:
x represents the number of pages Taylor read.
p represents the coefficient of x, which is 0.5.
q represents the constant term, which is 10.
r represents the total number of pages Arlene read, which is 30.
So the equation in the form px + q = r is:
0.5x + 10 = 30

You're right, I apologize for the mistake. Let's rework the equation.
The problem states that Arlene read 30 pages, which is 10 pages more than half of the pages Taylor read.
Let's represent the number of pages Taylor read as x.
Half of the pages Taylor read is (1/2)x.
So, the equation in the form px + q = r becomes:
(1/2)x + 10 = 30
Cassandra measured her height as 63 inches. That is 6 inches less than 3 times her younger brother’s height. How tall is her younger brother?

Let's fill in the blanks:
x represents the height of Cassandra's younger brother.
p represents the coefficient of x, which is 3.
q represents the constant term, which is -6.
r represents Cassandra's height, which is 63.
So the equation in the form px + q = r is:
3x - 6 = 63
Anthony got a job babysitting. Each hour he works he will be paid $8.00. As a bonus, he will earn an additional $1.50 per hour for each child he watches. If his total hourly rate is $12.50, how many children does he watch?

fill in the blanks
Let's fill in the blanks:
x represents the number of children Anthony watches.
p represents the additional payment per child per hour, which is $1.50.
q represents the hourly rate for just working, which is $8.00.
r represents the total hourly rate, which is $12.50.
So the equation in the form px + q = r is:
1.50x + 8.00 = 12.50
