Answer:

30 red beads

Step-by-step explanation:

The data collected by Jake shows that there are 1.5 times as many red beads as yellow beads.

Red beads + Yellow beads = 50 beads total:

1.5n            + n = 50, where n represents the number of yellow beads.

Simplifying this equation, we get 2.5n = 50, so that n = 20.

If there are 20 yellow beads, then there must be (50 - 20) red beads, or

30 red beads.

You used p minutes one month on your cell phone. The next month you used 75 fewer minutes. Simplify the expression.
Anestetic [448]
Hi there!

Let's assume that one month is represented by the variable 'm', the amount of minutes you started with is 's', and minutes you spent is 'p'.

So, one month can be represented as 'm=s-p'.

The next month is a bit more tricky. This will incorporate 75 less minutes into the equation. 'm=s-75' can be used to represent this, as we assume that you didn't use any minutes in the first month, and that p=75 in this case.

If you found this especially helpful, I'd appreciate if you'd vote me Brainliest for your answer. I want to be able to assist more users one-on-one, as well as to move up in rank! :)

In order to have the variable by itself you have to add 20 to both sides. So your answer would be a=b+20. I hope this helps love! :)
