Question

If you need 192 beads to make a necklace and bracelet and it takes 5 times more beads to make necklace than bracelet. How many beads does it take to make necklace?

Answer 1

192 = total beads

necklace + bracelet = 192

Let x equal the number of beads 

bracelet = 5x
necklace = x

5x + x = 192 

6x = 192

x = 32

It takes 32 beads to make a necklace
