Naomi has 50 red and white beads. the number of red beads is 1 more than 6 times the number of white beads. how many red beads does naomi have

let's assume White beads = x Red beads = y Now according to question we have a set of equation y = 6x + 1 (Red beads = 1 more than six times white beads) ... (1) x+y = 50 (Total number of beads) ... (2) substitute the value of "y" in equation (2) x + (6x+1) = 50 7x + 1 = 50 7x=49 x=7 now putting the value of x in equation (2) we will get y = 43 Red beads. hence, naomi have 43 red beads.
