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.
