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

w + 6w + 1 = 50

Thanks!

You're welcome.

43 red and 7 white bead = 50

To find out how many red beads Naomi has, we first need to translate the given information into an algebraic equation.

Let's say the number of white beads Naomi has is represented by the variable 'w'.

From the information given, we know that the number of red beads is 1 more than 6 times the number of white beads. So, the number of red beads can be represented by the equation:
Number of red beads = 6w + 1

We also know that the total number of beads, whether red or white, is 50. Therefore, we can write another equation:
Total number of beads = Number of red beads + Number of white beads
50 = (6w + 1) + w

Now we can solve this equation to find the value of 'w', which will give us the number of red beads.
