First, make a equation in which r= red and b=blue.
So, since in the first box it has 4 red models and one blue model equaling 12,
the first equation looks like 4r+b=12.
The second equation looks like 2r+b=8.
What you would do is try and first solve for r by getting rid of b.
Since both equation has a positive b, you would make one equation have a negative b by multiplying the whole equation by -1.
-1*(2r+b=8)= -2r-b=-8
Add.
4r+b=12
+(-2r-b=-8)
2r=4
r=2
Then, you plug in 2 for the r for any of the original equations.
4(2)+b=12
8+b=12
b=4
or
2(2)+b=8
4+b=8
b=4
So, the red models weigh 2 pounds while the blue models weigh 4.
1 is 25% of 4 hope this helps you

Answer:
x=29
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-13=74
We want to solve for x, so we need to isolate it.
The first step is to add 13 to each side.
3x-13+13=74+13
3x = 87
Then we divide by 3 on each side
3x/3 = 87/3
x= 29
