Question

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

Answer 1

There are 7 beads, 50 Divided by 6 equals to 8, subtract one and you get 7 :)

Answer 2

43 red beads
We can set up an equation to represent this problem if we substitute 'w' for the number of white beads:
6w+1+w=50
7w+1=50
7w=49
w=7
There are 7 white beads and we can multiply the number of white beads times six and add 1 to get the number of red beads.
