r = red
r/8 = green
r + r/8 = 36
(9/8)r = 36
r/8 = 4
r = 32
===========
32 + 32/8
32 + 4
36 sure enough

To find the number of red cars Susan counted, we need to set up a system of equations based on the information given.
Let x represent the number of green cars Susan counted.
Since there were 8 times as many red cars as green cars, the number of red cars is 8 times the number of green cars. Therefore, the number of red cars is 8x.
According to the problem, Susan counted a total of 36 red and green cars:
x + 8x = 36
Combining like terms:
9x = 36
To find x, we divide both sides of the equation by 9:
x = 36 / 9
x = 4
Now that we know x, we can substitute it into the equation for the number of red cars:
Number of red cars = 8x = 8 * 4 = 32
Therefore, Susan counted 32 red cars.

greens ---- x
reds ------ 8x
x + 8x + 36
take over, it's a piece of cake.
