Not sure what to do here?

Naomi has 50 red beads and white beads. The number of red beads is 1 more than 6 times the number of white beads.
How many red beads does Naomi have?

Let w = white beads. Solve for w and then find the number of red beads.

w + 6w + 1 = 50

7w = 50 - 1

7w = 49

w = 49 / 7

w = 7

She has 7 white beads.

7 * 6 = 42 red beads

Check:

7 + 1 + 42 = 50

w+6w+1=50

7w=50-1
7w=49
w=49/7
w=7
she has 7 white beans
7*6=42red beans
check
7+1+42=50

9x4=36x2=72

58 cards

I do not get it why you sad 7 white beads it have to be red beads?

To find the number of red beads Naomi has, we can set up an equation using the information given. Let's represent the number of white beads as 'x'.

According to the given information, the number of red beads is 1 more than 6 times the number of white beads.

So the equation would be:

Number of red beads = 6 * Number of white beads + 1.

Since the question states that Naomi has 50 red beads, we can substitute the number of red beads with 50.

50 = 6x + 1.

To find 'x', we need to isolate the variable. Let's solve the equation:

50 - 1 = 6x,
49 = 6x.

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 6:
49/6 = x.

Using long division, we find that 49 divided by 6 equals 8 with a remainder of 1.

So, x = 8.

Therefore, Naomi has 50 red beads.
