naomi has 50 red beads and white beads. The number or red beads is 1 more 6 times the number of white beads. how many red? please explain.
18 dived 1322 so our two esmatie is 1200 dived 20 is 60 and onther one is 1400 dived by 20 is 70
Let's set up the problem as an equation:
Let's assume the number of white beads is 'x'.
According to the problem, the number of red beads is 1 more than 6 times the number of white beads.
So, the equation to represent this relationship is:
Number of red beads = 1 + 6x
We also know that Naomi has a total of 50 beads. This means the total number of beads (red + white) is equal to 50.
So, the equation representing this relationship is:
Number of red beads + Number of white beads = 50
Now, substitute the expression for the number of red beads into this equation:
(1 + 6x) + x = 50
Simplify the equation:
1 + 6x + x = 50
7x + 1 = 50
7x = 50 - 1
7x = 49
Now, solve for x (the number of white beads):
x = 49 / 7
x = 7
So, the number of white beads is 7.
Now, substitute the value of x into the expression for the number of red beads:
Number of red beads = 1 + 6x
Number of red beads = 1 + 6(7)
Number of red beads = 1 + 42
Number of red beads = 43
Hence, there are 43 red beads.
To find the number of red beads, we can create an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume the number of white beads is represented by 'x'. According to the problem, the number of red beads is 1 more than 6 times the number of white beads.
So the equation becomes:
Number of red beads = 1 + 6 * Number of white beads
Given that Naomi has a total of 50 red and white beads, we can write another equation:
Number of red beads + Number of white beads = Total beads
Substituting the above expression for the number of red beads in terms of the number of white beads into the second equation, we get:
(1 + 6x) + x = 50
Simplifying the equation:
7x + 1 = 50
7x = 50 - 1
7x = 49
x = 49 / 7
x = 7
Therefore, the number of white beads is 7. Now substituting the value of x back into the first equation, we can find the number of red beads:
Number of red beads = 1 + 6 * 7
Number of red beads = 1 + 42
Number of red beads = 43
So there are 43 red beads.
